Dear Amazing Leadership Initiatives Donors,
Your donations will empower individuals and communities across Bauchi State, Nigeria, giving them the opportunity to form connections and address local issues using community resources. This will create a generation of leaders given the platform to encourage progress that starts at the local level but impacts many more.
In particular, Team 1069 interns have partnered with Shamsu Hussaini, the owner of Latest Furniture, which provides furniture repairs and custom new furniture for low-income customers. Currently, the 1069 team is working hard to support Shamsu in fundraising, tracking funds, and making improved business decisions for the future of his carpentry business. Your encouragement of Team 1069 interns and their project will truly help change lives across the globe, as this business not only provides crucial resources for the community but also creates critical job opportunities in the area. Contributions from donors give promising Nigerian business owners access to entrepreneurial, leadership, and project management training. These leaders then identify developmental obstacles within their communities, design practical solutions, and create sustainable business models to overcome those obstacles.
As a supporter of this project, Leadership Initiatives would love to have you involved if you ever want to help grow our programs, learn of ways you can participate, or have new ideas on how this team could best help their business partner. Please contact Executive Director Marshall Bailly at mbailly@lichange.org if you have any suggestions, questions, or comments! Your hard work and support is the greatest gift we could receive as we attempt to create a better world.
Thank you once again from the bottom of everyone's heart here at Leadership Initiatives. If you would ever like to speak to our staff in Nigeria or this specific project leader, we would love to communicate with you so you can personally see the change you are creating.
Wishing you, your family, and your friends the absolute best!
Sincerely, Leadership Initiatives
