Young persons affected by leprosy and disability will be offered opportunities to develop skills in agriculture, automotive repair, electrical repairs, event planning, arts and crafts, fashion designing, makeup artistry, carpentry, painting, interior decoration, hairdressing and burning salon and much more. If you are a young person affected by leprosy or any disability and are interested in any of these opportunities, kindly visit our website www.leprosymissionnig.org for more information and send your letter of interest to doran@tlmnigeria.org. REMEMBER: This project will only be implemented in 6 states, F.C.T, Kogi, Kwara, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi
The aim of the visit was to once again collaborate with the agency (LASODA) on Access to Justice and Political Participation for women, the elderly, youth and persons with disabilities in Lagos State.
It is a project supported by Voice Nigeria to build the capacities of relevant stakeholder to amplify the voice of marginalised and discriminated groups.
Mr. Dare Dairo (GM, LASODA) and top officials of the agency received the team. It was a fruitful deliberation. The GM stated it clearly that the agency is ready to partner with CCD in executing programs that will effectively aid the rapid development, active participation, and inclusion of PWDs in state’s programs.
