ORPHANS

At the heart of the foundation's mission is the belief that empowering orphans with valuable skills can profoundly transform their lives and help break the cycle of poverty.

Supporting the less privileged has numerous benefits, both for individuals and society as a whole. Here are some of the key advantages:

  1. Social Equality and Justice: By assisting the less fortunate, we help to create a more equitable and just society. It contributes to the reduction of disparities in income, education, healthcare, and opportunities, fostering an environment in which everyone, regardless of background, has a chance to succeed.
  2. Humanitarian Values: Providing assistance to those in need reflects our fundamental human values of empathy, compassion, and solidarity. It enables us to show compassion and concern for our fellow humans, fostering a sense of community and interconnectedness.
  3. Economic Growth and Stability: When marginalized people receive assistance and opportunities, they can contribute to the economy by utilizing their skills and productivity. This has the potential to boost consumer spending, job creation, and overall economic growth.
  4. Reduced Crime and Unrest: A lack of opportunities and resources can lead to crime and social unrest. We can address some of the root causes of crime and help create safer communities by providing assistance to the less fortunate.
  5. Educational Advancement: Providing education and resources to those who are less fortunate aids in breaking the cycle of poverty. Access to high-quality education enables people to pursue better careers.
The foundation's efforts bring hope, empowerment, and a brighter future to the lives of countless orphans.

The SINE-QUA-NON Support Foundation is a remarkable organization dedicated to providing essential support and care for orphans through its impactful skills acquisition programs. With an unwavering commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable children, the foundation has become a beacon of hope and opportunity for countless young individuals.
At the heart of the foundation's mission is the belief that empowering orphans with valuable skills can profoundly transform their lives and help break the cycle of poverty. Through their well-structured skills acquisition programs, the foundation equips these children with practical knowledge and abilities that not only enhance their employability but also foster self-confidence and independence.

The foundation's approach combines both theoretical and practical training, ensuring that participants gain a comprehensive understanding of their chosen skills. From vocational trades such as carpentry, tailoring, and plumbing to computer literacy, culinary arts, and agricultural techniques, the foundation, in partnership with FOLIOTECH INSTITUTE, offer a diverse range of training opportunities tailored to the individual interests and aptitudes of the orphans.
Beyond skills acquisition, the foundation provides a nurturing and supportive environment for the orphans. They receive mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals who are passionate about helping them succeed. The foundation also facilitates access to resources, including educational materials, tools, and equipment necessary for their training.
By focusing on skills acquisition, the SINE-QUA-NON Support Foundation equips orphans with the means to secure sustainable livelihoods and become self-reliant. This not only improves their immediate well-being but also empowers them to shape their futures positively.

Furthermore, the foundation's programs have a broader impact on the community as well. As these orphans graduate from their training programs and gain employment or start their businesses, they contribute to local economic development and become agents of change in their communities. This ripple effect strengthens the social fabric and uplifts the entire society.

In conclusion, the SINE-QUA-NON Support Foundation's commitment to taking care of orphans through skills acquisition programs is commendable. By equipping these children with practical skills, they provide them with the tools they need to build successful and fulfilling lives. Through their efforts, the foundation brings hope, empowerment, and a brighter future to the lives of countless orphans

 JOSEPH'S STORY
I met Joseph in 2003 in Keffi, Nasarawa State. He was 10. He would go around camp in search of chores and make a few bucks. Word of his diligence spread, and Joseph became the go to guy. He raised money to pay school fees and added his quota to the family purse (theirs was a family of 14, so everyone had to chip in).

On the last day of camp, Joseph was heartbroken as we departed and ran after the vehicle for almost 5 minutes. Joseph always stayed in touch. He was certain I was the person to get him to Lagos. His faith impressed me, and I also believed. It's been 15 years, and that dream is now a reality. Joseph hit Lagos on August 4th and has resumed at the FOLIOTECH INSTITUTE in Ajah, for a three month training on a skill of his choice. The grace of God and the support donors gave to the ORPHANAGE SUPPORT CENTRE, a corporate social responsibility initiative, made it happen. 

The centre realized that a lot more can be done than just providing orphans with clothes and food. Thus it came up with the ORPHAN EMPOWERMENT PROJECT which later became legally registered as the SINE-QUA-NON SUPPORT FOUNDATION,  placing orphans in the skills institute. It's better to teach them how to fish. Joseph is not an orphan, but he has been through so much that he deserves to get the first slot. His belief made it happen. Joseph has taught me a lot.
