Community and Orphanage Invasion: Empowering Youth Through Skills Development

Launched in November 2021, our organisation initiated the "Community and Orphanage Invasion" project to address the skills gap among vulnerable youth in orphanages and underserved communities within the Gbazango and Kagini Bwari Area Council of Abuja. By offering comprehensive music, arts, fashion, and photography training, we aimed to equip young people with marketable skills and boost their self-confidence.

Through our program, we successfully trained 200 young adults, transforming them into skilled individuals capable of pursuing sustainable livelihoods. Collaborations with NTA Abuja, Beyond Dreams Digital, and Dream Digital Africa provided essential support in enhancing the project's impact.
