Provide Skills and Jobs to 425 Disabled in Nigeria
More Information About this ProjectProject Needs and BeneficiariesDisabled youths in Nigeria turn to drugs and other socially unacceptable activities to generate income. This is due to a high level of discrimination against people with disabilities. Often they are abandoned. They need to be rescued and recovered from the streets. We provide basic education; provide skills in shoe-making, tailoring, welding and computer. ActivitiesWe will educate; provide job skills to young beggars for economic and social integration; continue to pursue legislation to protect their rights and create jobs to restore their dignity.

As a result, poverty within this population will decline. They will also build self-esteem and be encouraged to fight for their rights. Project Message
Social harmony will be a mirage if the disadvantaged people, who are the poorest of the poor faced with prejudice and discrimination, are not empowered to help themselves and their family. Who is Running This ProjectContact
