Who we are

The work done by the foundation started around 2004/2005. It was ignited by the concerns of interns in the place of work of our founder in Port Harcourt. Bearing in mind the educational and career needs of these interns, our founder developed a training program for these interns leveraging his network of colleagues who are experts in different fields for which the interns were students in.

Due to his passion for helping the interns during their training period in his company of work, our founder utilized his break period to mentor these young people as he had training sessions with them at least once in a week. As a result of his work with these young people (who ended up bringing their colleagues from other departments in the company to the training sessions) the Human Resource Department was so impressed so much so that they said: “He helped them achieve their objectives”. He ended up being bestowed an ambassador to the interns in his department by the Human Resources Department and they ended up crafting a better and more robust program for the interns in the company.

Due to the vagaries of his work, our founder was posted outside of the country for which he returned back in 2011 (although, he was posted to a different location within the country this time). He saw the same problem amongst the interns in his new office and being a problem solver with a template for success for such problems, he replicated his work in Port Harcourt in this new place of work and recorded even more success. However, a new problem arose which would end up broadening the scope of the work our founder did for young people. After their internship period, these interns bothered about their future employability and career which invariably implied that they needed guidance. This led our founder to be invited to present a paper at the University of Lagos Engineering Faculty. Also, he ended up having meetings with these young people outside of the work environment coaching them on how to prepare winning resumes, tackling interviews and as well as crafting a fulfilling career path.

His time in Lagos however, came to a halt and he was posted back to Port Harcourt only that this time, his workload wouldn’t avail him the opportunity to carry on with his training sessions with the young interns in the organization. For this reason, he set up a mailing system so as to continue coaching past interns who had passed through his tutelage and as well decided to move on to an online platform so as to have a wider reach and become even more accessible to young people not just within the confines of his workplace but across the country since the beauty of the web is that it has no boundaries and wisdom can easily be shared across it.
