Appeal for Donation:

We urgently need your support to continue our humanitarian efforts in Nigeria. Your donation will enable us to provide essential assistance to the poorest of the poor, including food and education.

Every contribution, no matter how small, counts. Your generosity will bring hope and relief to those who need it most.

Please consider donating to our foundation today. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of Nigerians.

Brief description of the situation:

Nigeria is facing a severe crisis in education, with over 10 million children out of school, mostly due to poverty, conflict, and social inequality. Vulnerable children, including orphans, girls, and children with disabilities, are disproportionately affected. Many are forced to work or beg on the streets, exposing them to exploitation and abuse. The lack of access to quality education perpetuates cycles of poverty, limiting their future prospects and potential to contribute to society.

Key challenges:

- High number of out-of-school children
- Disproportionate impact on vulnerable children (orphans, girls, children with disabilities)
- Poverty and economic instability
- Conflict and insecurity in some regions
- Limited access to quality education
- Social and cultural barriers (gender bias, stigma)

By addressing these challenges through education, the project aims to empower vulnerable children in Nigeria to break the cycles of poverty and inequality, and reach their full potential.

Project objectives:

1. *Increase Access to Education*: Provide scholarships to vulnerable children in Nigeria to access quality education.

2. *Improve Educational Outcomes*: Support children to complete their education and achieve better learning outcomes.

3. *Empowerment and Life Skills*: Equip children with life skills, confidence, and self-esteem to overcome adversity.

4. *Gender Equality and Inclusion*: Promote gender equality and inclusivity in education, focusing on girls and children with disabilities.

5. *Community Engagement and Support*: Build partnerships with local communities, schools, and stakeholders to ensure sustainability.

6. *Capacity Building and Mentorship*: Provide training and mentorship to teachers, caregivers, and community members.

7. *Advocacy and Policy Influence*: Advocate for policy changes and implementation to support vulnerable children's education.

8. *Monitoring and Evaluation*: Track progress, document success stories, and make data-driven decisions.

By achieving these objectives, the project aims to empower vulnerable children in Nigeria to reach their full potential and become positive change-makers in their communities.

*Short-term results (1-2 years)*

1. _Increased enrollment_: 3,500 vulnerable children enrolled in school

3. _Leadership development_: 50% of children take on leadership roles

A Catalunya, un de cada sis alumnes abandona l’institut abans d’acabar els estudis postobligatoris. Milers d’adolescents que, amb més acompanyament, haurien pogut continuar estudiant.

Aspirem a que cada jove, independentment de les seves condicions de partida, tingui un recorregut educatiu d’èxit, i ho volem fer gràcies al suport extraordinari, en els moments de presa de decisions, de referents que els acompanyin.

Mentora és una iniciativa que vol contribuir a que tot l’alumnat català finalitzi els estudis postobligatoris. Per fer-ho, proposem que cada jove que ho necessiti tingui un referent, un mentor o mentora que l’acompanyi en la transició entre l’ESO i la secundària superior. Proposem fer-ho amb mentoria perquè sabem que és una metodologia que funciona i que fa que tota la societat s’impliqui en l’èxit educatiu.

Emparellem alumnat de 3r i 4t d’ESO amb una persona mentora amb qui fan sessions individuals setmanals d’1’5 hores de caràcter informal i personalitzat. En aquestes sessions es fan activitats i es promouen converses sobre les seves vocacions i aspiracions, que permetin als nois i noies informar-se, reflexionar i prendre decisions, alhora que poden posar en pràctica habilitats bàsiques per l’èxit educatiu (comunicació, resolució de problemes, organització, pensament crític…). Les parelles de mentoria tenen seguiment professional per part d’equips que estaran coordinats amb els referents educatius dels alumnes (equips docents, d’orientació, de serveis socials…) per dur a terme una acció coherent i efectiva.

A Mentora tenim la sort de comptar amb entitats, ajuntaments i instituts compromesos amb la lluita contra l’abandonament escolar prematur que, localment lideren aquesta iniciativa promoguda per la Fundació Bofill. Aquests equips estan constituïts per professionals de l’àmbit social, juvenil i educatiu d’arreu del territori català. Aquí podeu veure els punts on es du a terme el programa: https://www.mentora.cat/punts-mentora/.

Job Shadow Day allows students, aged 16 and over, to accompany a company manager (or department head) or his/her representative during a working day.

The experience differs from a simple company visit, as the students can observe a manager performing the daily tasks of his/her job for a whole day. In this way, students get an idea of the responsibilities of a company manager and gain important impressions of working life.

Job Shadow Day aims to transmit to the students:

- the relevance of a good school education: students realise how their school knowledge and skills help them in working life;
- the requirements of the labour market (profiles and skills needed)
- an overview of the responsibilities of a business leader;
- the meaning and importance of teamwork
- an overview of the different career paths;
- the desire to be an entrepreneur


The Job Shadow Day gives the company the opportunity:

- to gain new personnel resources: meeting a potential future apprentice or employee;
- positioning yourself as an attractive employer;
- to present themselves and promote a positive image;
- to engage in the field of corporate social responsibility;
- passing on professional experience to the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow;
- have a fruitful exchange with young people

Period : 1 day (between the 31st March and 4th April 2024)
