Challenge

Lack of social safety net for Orphans and school opportunities for youth in Birshi Nigeria.

Solution

Danliti's shoes have earned a reputation over his competition in neighboring states, and at times even receives orders from other nations. He has won contracts from multiple groups, allowing locally owned and operated institutions to invest money within the community.This has allowed Danliti to grow his business and hire additional employees, which has brought his business even more community support. Danliti will use this additional support to grow his workshop and hire Orphans as employees

Long-Term Impact

Develop independent profit-generating businesses that serve as models for growth in surrounding communities. Project beneficiaries fill voids in the local economy while improving their families' health, education and financial stability. Previous leaders have sent their brothers, sisters and children to school, helped invest in new businesses within the community, offered new services to community members such as the disabled, establishing infrastructure for the future growth of Nigeria.
