The day- to - day activities of the Organisation
are managed by a group of professionals. And...
Our over all programme is a pathway out of poverty. Starting from oour Helpless People's Project to micro-credit programmes.
Helpless People's Project focuses on assisting improverished/financially handicapped and abandoned sick people to obtain permanent
cure for their ailment through (i) solicitation for funds.(ii)maintaining a transit home and (iii)Success Story. The micro-credit
programme focuses on education, training and skill building of the indigents in our society through its skills acquisition
programme of hair barbing/dressing/styling, weaving, computer training, soft loan and scholarship.
HELPLESS PEOPLE'SPROJECT
SOLICITATION OF FUNDS:The project focuses on assisting improverished/financially
handicapped and abandoned sick people to obtain complete cure for their ailment. We are aware that abject penury and lack
of having access to means of soliciting for assistance force majority of our people to abandon their helpless sick people
to suffer perennially before death. We assist in this area by assisting such people. We take in the sick person, send them
to our designated hospital for diagnosis, information on type of treatment, cost of treatment and information on post treatment
recuperation. Subsequently, we solicit for funds for these sick persons from Corporate Bodies/Organisation, Donor/Charitable
Organisations, Philanthropists and the General Public.
Once the required amount is completed, the patient goes for the treatment. After the treatment, the person
is re-united with his/her family. However, if the person requests for our assistance to gain meaningful employment or has
need for formal or informal education, he or she benefits from our skill acquisition programme, after which he/she is reintegrated
into the society.
TRANSIT HOME: Aware that treatment of these sick people run into months before
solutions are found and housing them in hostels will consume huge fund, we maintain a transient home where the Helpless abandoned
sick people and battered women are housed temporarily until their cases are resolved. The home has been very helpful to the
success story of the organisation's project.
REHABILITATION
The programme takes care of street boys and girls who the organisation has reformed and the abject poor who
are displayed either by natural disaster or other circumstances beyond their control. The street boys and girls who are reformed
are assisted by the organisation to find suitable accomodation, which are paid for by the organisation for the first year.
They are to pay for subsequent years from their earnings. This is to make them responsible citizens. They are monitored during
this period to ensure they do not digress from standard norms.The same priviledge is given to displaced poor people.
They are assisted to find and pay for suitable accomodation for the first year after which they take up subsequent payments
of the accomodation.

because of age, and reformed street boys who prefer vocational/skill acquisition to formal education. At the completion of
the programme, the beneficiaries who displayed maturity, diligence are assisted to set up their own businesses to become self
employed. The beneficiaries are monitored over a period of one year during which the principal loan must have been repaid
as the business is progressing. They are allowed to be on their own. They are also allowed to attend the organisation's beneficiaries

COMPUTER TRAINING:This programme is for young school
certificate holders who wish to work and pay for their higher education themselves because of financial problems in their
families. The programme enables them to gain employment through our employment agency scheme. However, exceptional students
are absorbed into the organisation whenever there is vacancy. MICHAEL AINA is one of such beneficiary.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME:Beneficiaries of this programme are
young boys and girls whose educational pursuit are obstructed due to orphanage,death of sponsors, parents, relatives or unexpected
misfortune in the families. They are assisted to complete their academic career within the level they were before their academics
were obstructed. However, those who showed exceptional skils/knowledge are assisted to continue to higher levels. PEACE OSARO
is one of the current beneficiary of this scheme. Having lost her father through motor accident and unable to locate her mother
who remarried, she was faced to take up commercial sex work for survival. Peace do not wish to engage in such
a trade and her encounter with the organisation in one of our youths outreach/empowerment programme saved her situation.
The organisation became solely responsible for her education and up keep until she completed her senior secondary programme.
PROGRAMMES
We carry out training/educative/enlightenment programmes at the grassroots. We give urgent attention to tropical
and current issues. In recent times, most of our programmes focused on STD and HIV/AIDS. Our interaction with grassroot over
these issues brought to fore many questions and challenges. For instance, many rural community knowledge base of HIV/AIDS
is very poor. Their problems cover contact, prevention, mitigation, care and support. We discovered that there is need for
aggressive outreach programme on HIV/AIDS at the grassroots. We are mapping out strategic plan that will assist us to make
impact on HIV/AIDS information at the grassroots.
We have carried out various enlightenment/awareness campaign and training programmes in health and health
related issues and societal ills especially on violence against women, discriminatory practices against the girl child and
customary norms like female circumcision and practices that hinders the progress of women.
Equally, we have counseled many battered women and their spouses and have amicably settled their disputes.
We have trained the less priviledged and unskilled women and youths ( especially street children from under the bridge in
Obalende, Oshodi/Isolo and Iyana Ipaja in Lagos State, Nigeria) in skills acquisition programmes,and through our micro-credit
programme assisted some with soft loans to set up small businesses and others with gainful employment.

No To Poverty and Failures"; "The Law of Success", 'Famous Quotations! Inspired To Achieve Your Potentials and Destiny"; "The
Ultimate Revenge"; "The Repercussion"; "Project Manuals"; "The Life Companion International Newsletter" an educative newsletter
