I am the coordinator of hands in service the local organization. We make Paper beads which we use in making bags, Bangles, Necklaces, ear rings etc, African paintings, signposts, and general Art work to reduce unemployment problem, poverty, illiteracy, empowering vulnerable people and entire communities to defend their inalienable human rights, improving on the spiritual lives of vulnerable persons. we provide humanitarian assistance to the poor and needy through the funds raised from these projects. We have thousands of necklaces, paper bags, Bangles, ear rings, paintings that are ready for sale but we do not have people to buy them. Our appeal goes to every one who would like to see an orphan going to school, feeding and dressing up. A widow feeding and dressing up to buy from the numerous products we have. These product in the local market are so cheap that it cannot sustain the lives of these vulnerable people. Buy a product and save a life!
We would wish to establish the following:
-A skill training center for youth and women
-Market for our product especially necklaces and bracelets.
-Training the community on modern farming methods and provision of improved varieties of crops and animals.
A children's home to cater for the children who lost their parents due to HIV/AIDS and the 20year insurgency in the North and North-Eastern
