A non-governmental organization, Regy&Henry Amazing Grace Foundation, has launched a notable entrepreneurship intervention program for the second quarter of the year to empower sex workers, vulnerable women, youths, and children in Maitama village, Kubwa.
The organization said the intervention specifically targets sex workers, vulnerable women, youth, and children in Maitama village, Kubwa.
According to the organization, this initiative is designed to address pressing social issues such as human trafficking, drug abuse, domestic violence, poverty, and economic deprivation.
The program, which began on Monday, July 9, and will run through July 26, spans three weeks.
Speaking at the flag-off ceremony, the National Coordinator for RHAGF, Mrs. Duru Regina, said this free, three-week skill acquisition training aligns with the foundation’s mission to empower individuals and families to achieve economic stability, especially during challenging economic times.
“The training aims to equip participants with practical skills that can lead to sustainable income, thus contributing to the alleviation of poverty and the reduction of related social issues. The program supports the government’s renewed hope agenda, emphasizing the importance of grassroots initiatives in driving national development.”
Continuing, she explained that upon completing the training, the foundation plans to provide the beneficiaries with startup equipment to facilitate the application of their newly acquired skills.
“This provision is crucial in ensuring that participants can immediately translate their training into income-generating activities, fostering self-reliance and economic independence.”
Meanwhile, the foundation called on well-meaning Nigerians, corporate entities, and international organizations to support their efforts. By contributing to this cause, donors can help expand the impact of such interventions, reaching more slums and underserved communities across Nigeria.
