(UK, 1091028) Browse eventsDIFN (Development Impact for Nigeria) was set up in 2000 in the UK, initially starting off as CIFN, an ecumenical agency to address the issues of HIV/AIDS awareness, Prevention and Care/Support. We have now evolved into being a holistic development agency working in partnership with several Nigerian based Community Based Organisations, NGOs, Schools, Faith Groups, State and Local Government Agencies. In 2010, an initiative was proposed by members of the Modakeke Progressive Union (a Diaspora organization in the UK) to provide solar power products for the benefit of the inhabitants of Modakeke, Osun State, Nigeria. This area has suffered several years of civil war and its people are slowly re-building their lives. This initiative aims to facilitate regeneration of the area by reducing poverty and illiteracy of locals by: 1. Providing beneficiaries with solar lanterns and small-scale photovoltaic systems to reduce their reliance on kerosene and diesel - which are toxic and can be very dangerous if kerosene is mixed with other liquids 2. Improve educational standards because children will be able to study at night 3. Encourage the use of solar power to generate an income e.g. for charging mobile phones or using money which would otherwise be spent on diesel and kerosene, on other items to sustain their families 4. Engaging locals in volunteering schemes to educate others about energy conservation and about solar energy devices in rural areas in Nigeria, particularly in Osun State

(UK, SC035651) Browse eventsChukwu Trust is founded on the principle that when people have nothing, even the smallest donation can transform lives. It aims to give people in Africa the basics to start a new education, a new job, a new life and build a future for themselves and their families. We do not aim to fund people on an ongoing basis, but instead to provide the crucial capital that will enable them to support themselves. This is done through direct donations to individuals, so not only is the gift completely transparent but the results can be seen immediately. Many of the people who require assistance have had their lives brutally transformed by tragic events, most commonly the loss of the breadwinner in the family through accidents or sickness. Countries, such as Nigeria where we work, do not have a welfare state. The only form of assistance is provided by the family network. When this breaks down, those left behind have nothing to fall back on, bringing severe suffering to the families involved.
