SDG 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

VISION

Provide access to formal education to the under-served; poor, less privileged and internally displaced persons in our community to ensure meaningful living.​

MISSION

Enable the integration of the poor, less privileged and internally displaced persons into the society via the means of transferable skills, knowledge and capacities that are developed through education.​

Economic Empowerment Projects

Displacement affects the ability of individuals to pursue livelihood and socio-economic activities and denies them access to social security. Principle 22 (b) of the UN Guideline and Principles is therefore intended to ensure that IDPs are able to participate in economic activities without discrimination relative to the rest of the population.​

According to this principle, “internally displaced persons, whether or not they are living in camps, shall not be discriminated against as a result of their displacement in the enjoyment of the following rights: […](b) The right to seek freely opportunities for employment and to participate in economic activities.”​

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARTNERSHIP

  • Establish/Strengthen well equipped laboratories and skill acquisition centers at Camp David which will be accessible to all youth dropouts, women and other marginalized members of the community​

  • Provide specific trainings for IDPs. We estimate that training for each IDP will cost N50,000, for a total of N50m for first 1000 IDPs including seed grants.​

  • Provide farming lands for IDPs :

    • We estimate that 15 Acre farm land will cost N200m​
    • Individuals and families with undeveloped lands may wish to allow access for farming purposes.​

"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?"

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.”

“The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind.”

“To say that on a daily basis you can make a difference, well, you can. One act of kindness a day can do it.”

“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

“Since the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.”
