Merciport has a strong partnership with ‘The Shunammite Foundation’ to which we have enhanced the
lives of a lot people by instilling in them the foundational skills and empowering them with the
tools needed to build and grow and be economically independent.
Shunammite Foundation’s skill acquisition programs are designed to provide a platform to train &
educate marginalized and vulnerable Nigerian Youths on skills that help create wealth. The
foundation has helped over hundreds of marginalized and vulnerable youths in acquiring various
knowledge and skills through its programs. One of such program is the ‘Project Profitable Labour’
which is fully sponsored by Merciport. The beneficiaries, who are pooled through a transparent
process, are trained in highly professional and reputable vocational centers in Nigeria such as:
-
House of Tara International
-
Valerie Davids School of Fashion
-
Orange Academy
-
Angel Cakes
-
PEFTI Film Institute by the renowned Wale Adenuga, etc.
Shunammite’ Capacity Building enables people and marginalised communities to strengthen their
capabilities to develop, implement and maintain effectiveness of their leadership potential. The
programs also provide guidance and support on preventing and responding to conflicts and other
humanitarian emergencies.
The Foundation also stimulates and empowers women to achieve financial stability by giving support
funds to start or improve retail businesses which in a way reduces the poverty level of each of the
identified marginalized households.
