Empower the Next Generation of Leaders: Double Your Impact Today!

Introduction:

Welcome to our donation page! Your support is crucial in empowering young people in Nigeria through the transformative Leadership and Community Development Mentoring (LCD) Programme. This April, your contribution goes even further, thanks to a special matching grant challenge from the New Africa Fund.

The Challenge & Opportunity:

From April 1st to 30th, every donation made to The Bridge Leadership Foundation will contribute towards unlocking a 1:1 matching grant, up to $5,000. This means that your generosity will be doubled, providing a total of $10,000 to supercharge our LCD programme and create lasting change.

Why Your Support Matters:

In rural Nigeria, young learners (ages 8-17) face significant challenges, including limited access to quality education, lack of mentorship, and a digital divide. The LCD programme addresses these challenges by providing:

  • Mentorship Training: Equipping youth and teachers to provide personalized guidance and support.
  • Digital Literacy Skills: Bridging the digital gap with computer literacy, coding, and cybersecurity training.
  • Entrepreneurial Skills Development: Fostering economic independence through vocational training and business management skills.
  • Academic Support: Enhancing educational outcomes and increasing school retention.
  • Scholarship Opportunities: Opening doors to higher education and future success.
  • Mental Health and Wellbeing: Providing peer support and counseling services for holistic development.

Impact You’ll Create:

Your donation directly supports the expansion and continuation of the LCD programme, building upon our established impact:

  • Expanding Mentorship: Enable us to train more mentors, reaching a greater number of learners.
  • Advancing Digital Literacy: Increase access to vital tech skills for more students.
  • Growing Entrepreneurial Ventures: Empower more learners to start their own businesses.
  • Improving Educational Outcomes: Further increase school retention and academic success.
  • Opening Scholarship Doors: Provide more opportunities for higher education.
  • Strengthening Mental Wellbeing: Enhance support services for students’ holistic development.

Our Impact to Date:

Since inception, the LCD programme has:

  • Supported over 30,000 learners.
  • Increased digital literacy confidence by 85%.
  • Empowered 40% of learners to start small businesses.
  • Awarded over 382 academy scholarships.
  • Increased school retention by 30%.

Transparency and Accountability:

We are committed to transparency and accountability. Your donation will be used efficiently and effectively to maximize its impact on the lives of young people in Nigeria. We will provide regular updates on the progress of the campaign and share stories of the lives you are changing.

Join us in empowering the next generation of leaders! Your contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Help us reach our goal and unlock the matching grant.
