This is now closed. It will take some time to go through all the applications received from here and other places and to examine the claims. We will get back to successful beneficiaries after a careful selection process. God bless you richly.

Great!

Wow. I thought you weren't interested anymore!

I've been pushing hard, trying to start this year on a good note....I had met people and told them of my interest to work, I met a man repairing generators and told him that I want to learn his trade, he billed me 20k, I'll work hard this month and save up....next month I'll pay him and try to learn the skill - atleast, with time I'll be able to fix people's generators.

2021 will be GREAT!! God bless you and the lucky beneficiaries.

Closing today. We will get back to successful beneficiaries after a careful selection process. Thanks

Yuceeluv:
I am just seeing this. God bless you for this gesture. Please is it too late to send an email?

You can still nominate someone, nominations close at midnight today. All the best.

doctoradekokolo:
I may have missed out on something. I was just job trolling when I stumbled across this thread. I don't know which thread. Can I have the link. I don't know what is expected of me.

Please, check for the link on my earlier post.

That happened in the UK. It is not too late to nominate someone for this poverty alleviation initiative in Nigeria. We will allow more time to get the right beneficiaries; it is important that we reach individuals that are in dire need, whose circumstances are a right fit for our programme. Thanks

doctoradekokolo:

Funny man

CandyOps:
Not criticism but an observation bro.. Well, dem no de tell person how to spend him money.. because me i no understand why una jus carry brand new Nikes dey share for street to homeless pple when u could of gotten them a home with the sum total of all those Nikes spent. except u guys didn't pay for it.. or it's part of Nike brand's campaign tactics. it's still a good thing thou because at all at all na winch

because e sure me die say one can go cost pass $20 and una share reach 50 abi?

50 * $20 = $1000

e reach to pay accomodation fee for like 3 months in a low-cost area.. Well too much money de worry una for Yankee. E fit be say the homeless people seff even get cribs wey clean pass my own for Naija here.

CandyOps:
This thing wey u do now just be like to carry pure water sachet go dey pour am inside river Niger because u wan contribute to the river.

Later come dey post am for Nigerian Forum make we clap for you abi

This is sad! What sort of mentality is this? The story revolves around a charity, not an individual. Better to pour that one sachet of water and cause a ripple in River Niger, than to hide behind my computer screen to criticise individuals I know nothing about. Grow up; happy New Year!

Yesterday, our charity collaborated with partners to distribute 80 pairs of brand new Nike trainers, to homeless people, in London. We had a major professional sportsperson (who sponsored the shoe segment of the event, with trainers donated by Nike) and his personal manager in attendance. It was a happy day for many beneficiaries. Expectedly, a few pedestrians (non-homeless) took advantage of the situation to benefit from the giveaway. Our charity also distributed food and loads of other presents. As a Nigerian-run charity, we are happy to celebrate our little joys with friends on Nairaland. Enjoy the images!

This is a little appetiser. Would upload videos and more images shortly!

Please, support our drive to give a little assistance to the poor in Nigeria by nominating beneficiaries on this thread:

We spent yesterday (New Year's Day) distributing FREE brand new NIKE trainers to homeless people in London, here is an image of the outreach. Would start another thread to show videos of what happened, it was a great way to start the year, contributing in LITTLE ways to make life exciting for the less fortunate.

Thanks and God bless your foundation.

Hi Ayomilore, It is okay to nominate yourself if you fit the profile ( we will verify that later), but you need to follow the instructions regarding nomination.
Note that this is much more than the 10,000 Naira stipend, it is about the structured material and moral support beneficiaries would get for 6 months to empower them economically. Cheers

We are a poverty alleviation charity. We try to help out in little ways to make life more meaningful for those worst affected by socioeconomic adversity. These are images from our destitute support programme in London this Christmas.

We have been working in the UK and parts of Africa for a couple of years. This year, with the challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic, we decided to expand our humanitarian support to reach more vulnerable people in other parts of Europe. This is a video from our charity outreach in Europe:

[url]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uejuvm7XlYY/url]


Many families in Africa have been badly affected by the Covid-19 lockdown. The situation is compounded by the continent’s pervasive poverty problem. Economic and Social Rights infrastructure is grossly inadequate in the majority of African nations with governments failing woefully to deliver basic socio-economic dividends to impoverished populations. Between 40-50% of Sub-Saharan Africans are living below the poverty line. The continent has about 11 per cent of the world’s population but carries almost a quarter of the global disease burden. It has below 1 per cent of global health expenditure and a meagre 3 per cent of global health workers while accounting for almost 50% of the planet’s deaths of children under five, and the highest maternal mortality rate with almost two-thirds of the global maternal deaths in a year (Nigeria accounts for most of these preventable deaths in Africa, and is second only to India globally). Less than 20 per cent of African women have access to education, and 2 in five adults in the region are illiterate.

To address these colossal challenges, Africa needs urgent sustainable economic growth which could be facilitated by international trade. However, the continent’s share of global trade was a humiliating 2.6% in 2018! This imposes serious obligations on governments and all stakeholders to work towards promoting not just the export of raw materials ( which has so far characterised Africa’s foreign trade) but manufactured goods and services from Africa to the rest of the world.

We can ALL contribute in different ways to make this happen. Our charity is committed to this vision. In the last few years, we have supported a number of small businesses in Africa. We have provided business mentoring, small handouts, and micro-credit facilities, some of which we had to write off due to the challenging conditions of the recipients concerned. We are also actively working with artisans and small businesses to facilitate the direct export of local products from the continent to the West. Though this is still at the incubation stage, we see this as a vital aspect of our work.

Today, multitudes are grappling with serious economic difficulties in our own country. We want to assist as many as we can in our own little way. Ultimately, the goal is to support thousands of underprivileged individuals and families, especially those living in extreme poverty. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, 40% of Nigerians are living below the poverty line, surviving on a little over $1 a day. This festive season, we will be starting with 50 individuals and families. We will work with each family to develop a poverty alleviation strategy. Beyond merely giving them fish, we aim to empower them with the right fishing tools so they can progressively navigate their way out of poverty.

Through our newly registered ’No Poverty Campaign’ NGO, we will be kickstarting a programme that is structured to address the challenges of families suffering from generational poverty by providing targeted quality academic assistance to deprived kids while assisting their parents materially and morally with a view to breaking cycles of poverty.

This is where you come in! If you know any destitute that you are deeply concerned about, this is your chance to help that person or family. You can help us to reach the RIGHT people by bringing them to our attention. Nominate the individual, telling us how bad their situation is, and we will take it from there. If they meet our criteria, they would be registered on our economic empowerment program to receive tailored systematic assistance for 6 months to establish a foundation for financial stability. Each of the 50 individuals nominated will also receive a little token of #10,000 as a present this festive season.

Please spread this information and help us to reach the right people. Kindly send all nominations to:

Thank you.

Shocking statistics emanating from Europe indicates that over 1 million migrants made their way to the continent this year and that only 190 of these have been formally relocated by the European Union.A staggering 972,551 entered the EU by sea while over 34,000 gained access by land. These startling details were revealed in an article by the New York Times and elsewhere ,showing the monumental challenge posed by the situation.

PARIS — The European Union’s struggle to deal with migration can be bluntly told in two numbers: More than one million people have made their way to Europe this year, according to the International Organization for Migration, and 190 have been formally relocated.

The disparity is a potent reminder of how migration has strained the European Union’s political will, its unity and its resources.

People on the front lines of this monumental undertaking are asking for patience. The question for the European Union, which has pledged to relocate 160,000 people over the next two years, is whether patience is enough.

“This is supposed to pick up rapidly, hopefully,” said Eugenio Ambrosi, regional director of the organization’s European regional office. “The machine is like a diesel. It takes time to get it started.”

The migrant crisis has been on European front pages for several years. Before the crowds at the borders in the Balkans or at Greek ports, there was the steady stream of boats full of migrants arriving in Sicily; before that, there was the camp at Calais, in northern France, popularly known as “the jungle,” from where migrants try to cross the Channel to England.

Two months ago, the French government finally announced a program to relieve the pressure in Calais and move migrants to 70 reception centers elsewhere in France.

Christian Salomé, who heads a local charity, L’Auberge des Migrants, said it was too early to precisely quantify the flow of people out of the Calais camp, but he estimated that the population of the jungle had dropped to 5,000 from 6,000 since October.

But resettling the migrants is not easy. According to the newspaper Le Monde, of 23 migrants who were relocated in November from Calais to a reception center in the city of Langres, about 180 miles southeast of Paris, only 15 remain, bored, unoccupied and frustrated by bureaucracy.

Of those who left, some may have headed back to Calais, according to migrants interviewed by Le Monde.

“Whether they stay at the centers depends on many factors — the quality of the personnel, the human warmth that they find,” Mr. Salomé said in a telephone interview.

For migrants who came to Calais in the hopes of moving on to England, relocation to provincial towns in France is probably not a long-term solution. Many will keep trying to reach countries where they can expect a quicker response to their asylum request, better hopes for a job or a chance to rejoin relatives.

According to Mr. Ambrosi, migrants are well aware of the widely varying approaches to handling asylum requests among European countries, as well as the different chances of finding work. Not surprisingly, they go where they feel they are most wanted.

“Each of the E.U. states has its own policy, and its own mechanism, and the asylum seekers know this situation very well,” he said.

Until the European Union adopts a uniform policy on migration, he said, the burden on the “welcoming” countries will increase, further straining tensions with their more reluctant neighbors and among their own populations.

France, which has committed to accepting 30,000 of the 160,000 migrants from the “front-line” states of Greece and Italy, has been trying to do its share, but the pace is slow: Some 900 migrants are expected to be formally settled here by the end of January, according to the Ministry of the Interior.

Meanwhile, more migrants are continuing to arrive in Europe, requiring additional donations from the International Organization for Migration’s 162 member countries. The organization has seen its operational budget for Greece triple since 2014.

“We are advancing towards a more uniformed response,” Mr. Ambrosi said. “We are going in the right direction, but time is of the essence.”

Hi Ujuvals,
I empathise with you and would like to help.
We have ongoing small scale initiatives aimed at directly impacting vulnerable individuals towards helping them to become economically empowered.One form of assistance we give is small business start-up support.Specifically,we offer goods at competitive trade prices to individuals and traders to help create a sustainable income stream.

Get in touch if interested and we will give you products worth between 50,000 to 100,000 Naira on credit (after necessary checks) to start your own business which you could do along with any normal paid job.

The credit facility would increase with time to a maximum of 250,000 Naira, dependent on how well you service the initial and subsequent credits.

We are a humanitarian organisation and would not require any collaterals or fees of any kind from you.All we require is verifiable guarantee / assurance that you would pay for the items after sale within the stipulated payment period.

The situation is actually worse than we have managed to paint here.You would weep when you see what is going on in some of these places.MANY of our people have died in these countries while their relations and friends are thinking they are living in Europe.There are those doing time in prison and many have been living wild in forest for YEARS!
We have video interviews with a Nigerian and a Cameroonian living in one of these camps.You can watch them on this page:
