IT'S TIME TO MEET SOCASEMP INTIATIVE
Hello dear Steemians. It is a great privilege to be on this great platform and we will like to introduce SOCASEMP INITIATIVE to every Steemian and every reader around the world.
ABOUT SOCASEMP INITIATIVE
SOCASEMP INITIATIVE means Sought-Out Cities, Arts, Skills and Empowerment Initiative. It is a Non Governmental Organization situated in Lagos, Nigeria. The organization is focused on a vision to seek-out places and areas where there are high needs and opportunities for valuable impact and respond with empowerment initiatives targeted at:
~Poverty alleviation
~Building Sustainable Livelihood
~Mind and Capacity development
~Nation Building.
The organization is also focused on a mission to:
Empower the less privileged to discover themselves, rise up to their full potentials, and create sustainable value for themselves and for the society.
THE BEGINNING
The President/founder of SOCASEMP INITIATIVE is @euniceokoh, while the Vice President/Head Of Operations is @jerryboy4luv. SOCASEMP INITIATIVE began in the year 2014 with a training program held at the Little Saints Orphanage, Abule-Egba, Lagos. The training program reached out to 50 orphans for 1 month. The vision was given to @euniceokoh in 2011 but it became a reality in August 2014.

PROGRESS THUS FAR
Since the inception in 2014, SOCASEMP INITIATIVE has lived up to it's vision of Poverty Alleviation, Sustainable Livelihood, Mind and Capacity Development, as well as Nation Building. The skill training started as a pet project and has gradually grown to get the attention of several individuals and corporate organizations.
SOCASEMP INITIATIVE has trained over 800 youths and women in different skill areas from 2014 till date. We have had trainings in Digital Literacy, Website Design, Graphics Design, Bead Making, Make-Up, Events Planning & Decoration, Catering, Fashion Creation & Design, Wig Making, Fine Art, Music (Vocals/Instrumentation), and Dance.
With the rising rate of unemployment in Africa, SOCASEMP INITIATIVE is contributing it's quota to nation building by raising entrepreneurs and leaders that have gone forth to transform their worlds. 64% of our trained beneficiaries are currently self employed and doing well in their various fields. 18% of our beneficiaries have grown to become employers of labor. Some of them have between 1-5 individuals employed to work together with them in their several fields and were taught by our beneficiaries from scratch.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN YEARS TO COME
We have seen that a lot of individuals in Nigeria actually need what we have to give from our previous training programs in different communities. The massive turn out from these communities during our screening exercises have opened our eyes to see the need for much more valuable impact and empowerment programs. We have decided to raise the dyke with projects that will reach much more individuals in years to come.
The change we want to see in our environments can be accomplished if only we will rise up to the call of service and become responsible. SOCASEMP INITIATIVE has decided to be the answer to the cry of several less privileged individuals in Nigeria and Africa.
