Our
programmes are scheduled to be implemented across Nigeria, starting from the
five (5) selected states within the South-East and South-South regions, with
the headquarters in Awka, the Anambra State Capital. The pilot states are: Anambra
State, Delta State, Enugu State, Imo State and Abia State. However, we are going
to commence one state at a time, until our programmes are reasonably
stabilized.
Our
focus, at the moment, is on Anambra State (South Eastern Nigeria) and we are
going to proceed in this order;
- The State Capital
- Major Cities (Urban and Semi-Urban Areas)
- Satellite towns
- Remote Villages
Our programmes are strongly built on Powerful Campaigns against some social
factors militating
against peaceful coexistence of people in our communities. At the root of these
factor is Poverty and its associated social and economic
practices which create structural violence and serve as bedrock of conflict
generation, manifestation and escalation.
Hence our campaign is aimed at both
creating awareness on the existence and negative effects of these social
practices, and charting a way to creating legally based solutions to some of
these problems.
