Move for Promise

Nigeria has over 200 million people, with about 50% below the age of 18. Unfortunately, the country has one of the highest number of out-of-school children in the world, and many of those who are able to go to school, still find it difficult to get sustainable employment. Hence, an extreme rate of poverty, with about half of its population living on less than $2 per day. Interestingly, despite the increasing rate of job seekers, many employers struggle to find individuals with the right skills and experiences needed to fill vacant positions. Therefore, it is crucial to bridge the gap between school and work, so that young people from low-income communities can build the career that they love, get quality employment, and rise above poverty.
