Young Minds for Good Stewardship, Community and Peace Building (YMGCP)

Covid-19 palliative support for Vulnerable

Location: Nigeria

YMGCP is a fully youth-led organization that seeks to provide training for Nigerian youth on subjects regarding train on the path of Good Stewardship, Community, and Peace Building. All of our training programs are designed to produce community leaders and create an educated and conscientious civil society where peace is a priority, and communities have leaders with the political culture and orientation at the helm of affairs.

 

Support

We need funds to execute our programs. We plan to set up our activities in at least 6 states in Nigeria, but we have only been able to initiate programs in two states. We plan on implementing a mentorship program for secondary and primary school students to visit them weekly by our trained volunteers and train them on the right political culture, career path, good stewardship, community, and peacebuilding. We need money to execute these programs such as setting up a viable website, setting u a viable office, producing materials to use in training the students and train the volunteers, to set up our activity in other states, and the run the affairs of the organization generally.

More importantly, at this period of the pandemic, we plan on providing relief materials and food supplies to vulnerable communities. In Nigeria, the majority of working-class citizens belong to the informal economy and cannot fulfill their needs as a result of the pandemic and the lockdown. In addition, members of our organization are youths who are either dependent or trying to find stability in their own lives, hence, they urgently require relief materials and food in order to survive this pandemic.

Other Needs: Volunteers, Space for online convenings (e.g. GoToMeeting)
