Our Vision

A Nigeria where every youth has equal opportunity for a better life.

Our Mission

Bridging the social gap in Nigeria through outreach, education, and research.

 
 
  • Provide educational opportunities for youth of low income background, giving them hope for a better quality of life

  • Offer and implement opportunities, such as mentorship, seminars and internship programs, that are currently limited for marginalized youth 

 
 
  • Provide short term relief for low-income communities through outreaches 

 
 
  • Create a community of Nigerian youth volunteers whose purpose is to help and assist the communities around them 

  • Build connections between Nigerian youth from all backgrounds, with the vision of reshaping and redefining what it means to be Nigerian

Our focus is the social gap in Nigeria that accounts for the rise of poverty and inequality most citizens face. By reaching out to the lower income families we hope to be the bridge that connects them to opportunities higher income communities in Nigeria benefit from.

The poverty level in Nigeria is a yearly household income of less than 137.4 thousand Naira ($361 USD). About 40% of Nigerians live below the poverty line.

The lower middle class level is considered at a yearly household income equal to 284.7 thousand Naira ($730 USD).

 

Data shows the significant gap between the lower middle class families and families below the poverty in Nigeria. With this gap comes privilege and opportunities that are reserved for those who find themselves in families of the middle class status or higher. The socioeconomic gap present in Nigeria gives rise to many of the problems young Nigerians face, such as inadequate education and lack of mentorship and job opportunities. Our goal is to provide lower income families and children with the educational opportunities they need.
