Written evidence submitted by Lifebuilders

 

4^th February 2008

 

We respond to your call for proposal and request to enlist our organization in the implementation of the programme that seeks to address the issue of rural poverty and rural livelihoods.

 

Nigeria is a country of paradox where one expects improved livelihoods and rural development through a sustainable initiative which would assist in alleviating the level of poverty inherent in the developing countries.

 

Lifebuilders is a registered Non-Governmental Organization limited by guarantee organization. Our mission statement is to add value to mankind especially youths and people who live in the rural communities.

 

We are interested in this aspect of assisting in the emancipation of poverty and initiating sustainable livelihoods.

 

Addressing the Rural poverty and rural livelihood initiative is to begin to look at implementing the Millennium Development Goals of 1-7 at each village level of Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State.

 

We do hope that this initiative will contribute to improved nutrition, generate income by improving quality of lives and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals 1-7.

 

They are as follows:

 

1) Increasing the life span of the last one million Nigerians through the consumption of Moringa Oleifera tea and powder.

2) Income generation for 1000 women farmers at village level in Oriade LGA.

 

We look forward to your support and technical guidance as we provide our social value of adding services.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Miss Tolulope Falasinnu

Programme Officer
