The Story so far...
In June 2010 the foundation organized a 3-day re-orientation and re-integration for some vulnerable young ladies in warri and its environ, who thereafter wanted to be trained in various fields of skills like fashion designing, hairdressing, computer training, catering, while some wanted to go back to school to adult education to enable them build a more sustainable future for themselves. The Foundation is graduating her first set of skilled acquisition trainees in November, 2011, to enable them the next set of trainees commence their training.
Ayo Oritsejafor Foundation in February, 2011, organised a 3-day mind set changing, re-orientation and re-integration program for some ex-militants who have decided and agreed to engage themselves in acquiring skills like Welding, Mechanic, Driving, Aluminum, Fabrication Furniture, Interlocking stones, Plumbing work, e.t.c. that are much more profitable than the carrying of guns and terrorism as means of livelihood. Their program is about to commence. Three out of thirteen of them, are in higher institution of learning.
Ayo Oritsejafor Foundation also runs an orphanage home where orphans from the ages of 0 months are housed, fed, and clothed. These children also go to school right from the kindergarten class.
In December every year, Ayo Oritsejafor Foundation, in collaboration with Eagle Flight Micro-Finance Bank, organizes a Poverty Alleviation Program where taxicabs, more than fifty grinding machines and tri-cycles are given to the underprivileged individuals in Warri and its environ to equip, empower and help them make a living for themselves and their families.
We are now starting to see our vision for this foundation being materialized and we are truly positive about what has been achieved so far. This has been possible through the support of our friends just like you. Most recently on the 19th of November 2012 to mark Papa Ayo 40th year in ministry and also 25th year of the ministry Word of Life Bible Church some persons that have been trained were given their Starter packs.
