Thousands of orphans in Nigeria between the ages of 15 & 19 live on less than $1 a day. With your support, we will train 100 orphans in highly demanded fashion skills and donate required tools. They will learn skills (like fashion designing, bag making, bead making, shoe making and Tie & Dye) and how to successfully build a small business.
Thousands of orphans in Nigeria between the ages of 15 & 19 live on less than $1 a day. According to UNICEF, there are 153 million orphans worldwide with over 10% of the world's orphans in Nigeria alone. 95% of these orphans do not receive any type of medical, social or material assistance. As a result, up to 20% of orphans develop a serious disability. This is a very dangerous situation because without intervention, most orphans born into poverty will die in poverty.
By empowering orphans with skills, tools and knowledge to start a small business, skilled orphans will be able to generate income and live above the poverty line.
This project will help reduce orphan poverty by creating a source of income for 100 orphans. These orphans will be able to afford enough food, basic healthcare and education on their own terms without waiting for aid.
