By Marshall Bailly & Leadership Initiatives Students | Executive Director
To our amazing Leadership Initiatives donors,
Your donation will empower individuals and communities across Bauchi State, Nigeria, giving them the opportunity to form connections and address local issues using community resources. This will create a generation of leaders given the platform to encourage progress that starts at the local level but impacts many more. Contributions from donors give promising individuals access to entrepreneurial, leadership, and project management training. These leaders then identify developmental obstacles within their communities, design practical solutions, and create sustainable business models to overcome those obstacles.
Our students create innovative solutions firmly grounded in principles of social entrepreneurship. We have previously created businesses in Bauchi, Nigeria: fish farming, welding, tailoring, motorcycle repair & computer education with job placement. Currently, this project will help local business owners as they strive to maximize the profit and impact of their business.
Team 1077 has partnered with Salisu, the owner of a textile business along Federal Low-Cost Bauchi that sells to local communities at affordable prices for all. Currently, the interns from the High School of American Studies at Lehman College, Stuyvesant High School, and the Brooklyn Friends School are working hard to raise money and come up with solutions to help his business thrive. Your generous donation helps support Team 1077 and their project, which will truly change lives across the globe. This business not only provides crucial resources for the community of Bauchi but also creates critical job opportunities in the area.
If you, as a supporter, ever want to help grow our programs, learn about different ways you can participate, or have new ideas on how this team could best help their business partner, Leadership Initiatives would appreciate your involvement. Please feel free to contact Executive Director Marshall Bailly at mbailly@lichange.org if you have any suggestions, questions, or comments! Your hard work and support are the greatest gifts we could receive as we attempt to create a better world.
Thank you once again from the bottom of everyone's heart here at Leadership Initiatives. If you would ever like to speak to our staff in Nigeria or Marshall Bailly, we would love to communicate with you so you can personally see the change you are creating.
Wishing you, your family, and your friends the absolute best!
Sincerely,
Leadership Initiatives
