We run projects that directly address children education, climate change such as solar system-powered electricity, solar-powered water,  tree, and shrub planting, clean-up campaigns, and digital skill centers to increase climate resilience, especially for young people, women and youth. Individual action is encouraged e.g. buying and planting trees to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mindsets need to change and everyone needs to take action to address climate change that is increasingly impacting lives in Nigeria through drought, decreased agricultural production and reduced food security, health and nutrition. \n\n[![solarsystem.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/Gt05pV49/solarsystem.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/sQcc6n9R) \n\n## Challenge\n\nMillions of Nigerians lack knowledge of what they can do to help with climate change and that what they do will make a difference. People need education as well as projects that they can be involved in. Our projects are locally led and include greening Nigeria and cleaning up/preventing pollution. People also need role models of environmental activism, both individuals and organizations. The Helpers Social Development Foundation learning models environmental awareness and action for all people.\n[![solar-water.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/PqLS1FyV/solar-water.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/qtTcTw92)\n\n## Solution\nThis project will educate Nigerians on environmental issues, give access to poor children education and provide grassroots-level action. It will give funding to community-led tree/shrub planting programs that reach 8 provinces where AIL works, through Learning Centers, workshops, and events. Other projects are environmental clean-up and pollution reduction education. For example, people will learn not to litter, burn tires, or other high-polluting items. \n\nIn addition, our skills training courses focus on empowering young people, women, and youth to increase their economic opportunities and build climate resilience among those most vulnerable to climate impacts.\n[![trees-planting1.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/XXSvYnSC/trees-planting1.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/H8zmSDLY)\n\n## Road Map and Metrics\n\u2022\tProvide climate education to 500 students every year in our primary school, community center,, and workshop.\n\u2022\t Solar powered clean water borehole in Ogbunka which will serve over 1,500 people annually. \n\n\u2022\tUtilize our solar water pump and well to provide water for 400 members of our community annually.\n\u2022\t100 Empower young people, women, and youth annually through digital skills training centers so that they can build climate resilience as agricultural production decreases and climate change threatens traditional livelihoods.\n\u2022\tPartner with The Solar Foundation to develop a solar-powered Public Charging Station for our community to charge their mobile phones and devices.\n\u2022  Planting 213 trees with 213 pupils in public schools without tree.\n\u2022  Establishment of solar powered store in rural community without electricity in partnership with The Radical system.\n\u2022  Distribution of free solar lantern to rural women in community without adequate electricity in Enugu State.\n\n\n## About Us\n**Helpers Social Development Foundation** is a duly registered nonprofit and nonpolitical organization in Nigeria that was formed in 2016 and officially registered with the Nigeria Corporate Affairs Commission on 27th June 2019. \n\nThe executive director, Okeke Chidi Chinwendu and his wife established the NGO with a mission to reach millions of less privileged Africans who are facing the same problems he faced while growing up in a small village in Nigeria.
