I am excited to share with you the inspiring work of the “Salimo Wits Foundation”, a beacon of hope and change based in Lagos. Our foundation, known as the Salt and Light of the World movement, is committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of young women, particularly at Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro.
Our Vision and Commitment:
At Salimo Wits Foundation, we believe in empowering young females by providing them with the tools they need to succeed independently. Too often, young women face challenges that hinder their educational and economic opportunities. Many resort to activities that compromise their future, such as “hook up” for financial support.
Project Overview: Transforming Lives
Currently, we are embarking on a transformative project aimed at these young women. With generous contributions from the Salimo Wits Foundation, personal donations, and the support of individuals like our benefactor from Japan, we are pooling resources to empower these students. Our goal is clear: To equip them with viable alternatives to financial dependence.
Practical Support: Building Sustainable Futures
Our initiative involves training these young women in practical business ventures such as selling recharge cards, water, fried snacks, and more. By helping them generate a modest daily profit—like 2,000 naira over 20 days—we empower them to sustain themselves without resorting to risky behaviors.
Beyond Financial Support: Community Development
Additionally, the Salimo Wits Foundation is actively involved in community development efforts, including solar energy training initiatives in Ozoro and beyond. We believe these efforts not only uplift individuals but also contribute to the broader prosperity and sustainability of the communities we serve.
Conclusion: A Call to Action
In conclusion, the Salimo Wits Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering young females through practical support and community development. Let’s focus on what truly matters—building futures and creating opportunities. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and impact!
Warm regards.
