This project will address poverty, illiteracy and financial dependability. This project is designed to train 200 disabled youths in Kano state Nigeria on how to increase their employability, develop a specific vocational skill and create a safe, legal business opportunities for themselves.

The project provides disabled youths with tools to complete their education, find jobs that will lead to lifetime careers and take advantage of opportunities to pursue their business ventures.
