Youth Empowerment in Africa Project

(YEAP)

In an effort to help close the academic achievement gap that exists between the children who come from affluent homes and those who are less fortunate, Children's 1st partners with Non-Governmental Organizations that offers programs for students that live in Nigeria, West Africa.

 

Programs include, but are not limited to tuition assistance, free education, tutoring, school materials, books, pencils, paper, laptop computers, updated technological devices, food, shelter, access to clean water, health and fitness training, forums, educational seminars on HIV, AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis.

Children's 1st only uses funds donated from our Annual Gala to support our Youth Empowerment in Africa Project. Recipients are also required to be in partnership with a reputable Non-Governmental Organization.
