With staggering unrmployment and muti-dimensional poverty in Nigeria , this project main goal is to train and equip 50 youths from Omoku community in Rivers state where bulk of the crude oil is produced.
63% of Nigeria population of about 200 million people( 126 million Nigerians) are poor and 80 million youths are unemployed who are roaming around hopelessnessly particulary in the oil-rich communities of the Niger Delta region that has been destroyed by oil spills,degradation and pollution.
This project is to provide 50 youths with training in farming and fishing to give them dignity ,empower them with new skills and equip them with farm tools and fishing nets, uplift them and their community and finally create new ways of livelihoods.
This project has not attracted the desired support,empathy and donations of 40,000 United states dollars for this critical training and educational youth project.
EARN urgently appeals to donors to show generosity and support youth of tomorrow in education and to enhance their livelihoods
This youth training and empowerment initiative will reduce criminal activites and enhance peace in Omoku community.
EARN alone cannot do it without our partner,GlobalGiving support.
The youths of tomorrow need you and your support.Thank you
