Life Skills Program Yet to Begin for Children

By Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri | Project Leader

Dear Donors,

We sincerely thank the donors who have supported the Lifeskills for 3,250 Children in Nigeria project. Your support shows care for children growing up in difficult conditions. We truly appreciate the contributions received so far, however, the funds available at this time are still not enough to begin the training activities.

Across many communities, children continue to grow up without guidance on basic life skills. This leaves them exposed to unsafe environments, poor decision-making, and limited opportunities as they grow older.

Without early support, many face challenges such as dropping out of school, poor health habits, and difficulty managing everyday situations. These gaps affect their confidence and ability to build stable futures.

This project is designed to train 3,250 children in communication, problem-solving, hygiene, nutrition, and basic financial understanding. The sessions will take place in safe spaces, using simple and practical teaching methods that children can apply in their daily lives.

With these skills, children can make better choices, stay in school, and grow with more confidence as they face life challenges.

We are grateful for the support already shown toward this effort. With additional contributions, it will be possible to begin training and reach the children who need this support.

Sincerely,

Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri

Update on life skills training for 3,250 children

By Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri | Project Leader

Dear respected donors,

Thank you for your support for the Lifeskills program for 3,250 children across Nigeria. While the funds received so far are not yet sufficient to begin full implementation, your early contributions help draw attention to the urgent need to equip children with essential life skills.

Many children grow up without guidance on basic communication, problem-solving, hygiene, nutrition, or financial literacy. Poverty, lack of parental supervision, and unsafe environments leave them vulnerable to child labor, early marriage, exploitation, and poor health. Without intervention, these vulnerabilities limit their education and reduce future economic opportunities, perpetuating cycles of hardship and unsafe living conditions.

This project will provide structured training in safe community spaces, led by local trainers using interactive, practical methods. Children will learn communication, decision-making, hygiene practices, nutrition, and financial management. Workshops will be reinforced through peer group activities to ensure lessons are understood and applied in daily life.

Once fully funded, this program will help children develop skills necessary to navigate challenges safely and independently. With these abilities, they are more likely to complete school, make informed decisions, and access safe and productive opportunities. Over time, the knowledge gained will guide them into adulthood, helping break cycles of poverty and vulnerability, while strengthening communities through responsible, capable youth.

We are grateful for your support. Every donation moves us closer to giving 3,250 children the tools to thrive, stay safe, and build better futures for themselves and their communities.

Warm regards,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri
