1. Dear {FIRST_NAME|Leadership Initiatives Friend},
Thanks to your support of Leadership Initiatives is spreading new
opportunities of INDEPENDENCE and SELF-RELIANCE throughout
Nigeria. As each LI sponsored beneficiary completes training and launches a
business, the positive impact ripples through surrounding families and
communities, providing new educational opportunities, increased income, and
most importantly, a tangible example of INDEPENDENCE and SELF-
RELIANCE for the entire community. Your support is what enables LI to
continue to sustain this incredible process of economic and personal
empowerment.
With your help, Leadership Initiatives has made it possible for
Ibrahim Maikasuwa to:
Identify a community need—for affordable welding services
Complete an apprenticeship and launch a new welding business in
Yelwan, Bauchi
Develop an advertising program and new fencing technology to grow
that business
Hire and train 3 new welders to meet growing demand for his services
Use business profits to educate 5 family members (siblings, and cousins)
Support others by providing welding training
Donate money and fundraising efforts on behalf of other Leadership
Initiatives
