Nigeria’s unemployment rate stood at 5.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 4.1% in the first quarter of 2023. Unemployed persons in Nigeria averaged 13297.50 thousand from 2014 to 2022.

to empowering individuals with practical skills and knowledge, enabling them to create sustainable livelihoods and build a brighter future. Through this initiative, we aim to tackle unemployment in our society by empowering individuals with the tools they need to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Discovering inert gifts

 At GIPELP, we recognize the vast reservoir of untapped potential that resides in children and youth residing in underserved communities. It’s an unfortunate reality that countless talents go unnoticed and unrefined due to lack of proper nurturing and opportunities. This neglect often leads to the premature fading of what could have been a bright flame of creativity and ingenuity.

Consider for a moment, how many ground-breaking discoveries, transformative ideas, or influential people might we have missed? How many potential prodigies in the vein of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi in the world of sports, Walt Disney in the realm of creativity, or even a Steve Jobs or Sheryl Sandberg in the sphere of leadership and innovation, have we overlooked?

With these poignant questions in mind, we at GIPELP have taken it upon ourselves to bridge this gap. We have designed a program specifically aimed at providing these underserved children and youth with a platform to reveal their talents, and a pathway to a brighter future. Our mission is to ensure that lack of privilege does not equate to lack of opportunity, and we invite you to join us in this transformative initiative. Let’s work together to ignite these hidden sparks and turn them into the blazing stars they are destined to be.

Rural farmers often face challenges in improving their farming methods and commercializing their operations, leading to missed opportunities and limited growth. GIPELP addresses these issues with our “Peasant Familonaire Program,” designed to equip farmers with the knowledge and resources needed to succeed.

In addition to our program, GIPELP serves as a platform to distribute essential farm tools, implements, chemicals, and high-quality seeds and seedlings to rural farmers. We also facilitate the opening of individual and cooperative society bank accounts, helping to streamline financial management and savings. Our goal is to empower farmers to maximize their potential and achieve sustainable success in agriculture.

 At the heart of our urban and rural economies, small-scale traders play a pivotal role, yet often face the challenge of living hand-to-mouth, due to limited resources and capital. These constraints often lead them to tap into their business funds for personal needs, thereby inhibiting the growth and expansion of their trade. 

In response to this, we are proud to introduce the Petty Traders’ Prosperity Program. This initiative is strategically designed to empower these traders through the provision of short-term, interest-free loans, which require no collateral. Our goal is to bolster their business operations, thereby creating a sustainable economic livelihood that transcends the constraints of their current circumstances.

By participating in this program, petty traders will have the opportunity to significantly enhance their business capabilities. Not only will this initiative foster growth and development within their individual enterprises, but it will also contribute to raising their standard of living beyond the poverty line. Hence, the Petty Traders’ Prosperity Program serves as a catalyst for change, promoting economic stability and prosperity for these hardworking individuals.

This is a segment in GIPELP that rewards the hardworking poor traders/parent who despite being poor, still strive to make ends meet in order to provide for themselves and their family.

In addition to acknowledging the efforts of parents/traders, we also believe in the power of creativity. We understand that financial constraints can stifle innovation and limit opportunities. That’s where GIPELP steps in, ensuring that brilliant ideas and untapped potential find the support they need to flourish. Our goal is to bridge the financial gap and provide the necessary empowerment for these ideas to be fully realized. We see the promise in these creative solutions and are dedicated to ensuring they come to fruition, creating lasting value for the individuals involved, and by extension, their wider communities.

Join us in making this project a success. Together, we can unlock boundless potential and cultivate a brighter future for those who have persevered against all odds. 

 In Nigeria and even around the globe, a significant number of individuals have successfully completed apprenticeships in various skills. However, financial constraints often prevent them from utilizing their acquired expertise as a means of earning a livelihood. Insufficient resources hinder their ability to procure the necessary tools required to put their learned skills into practice.

At GIPELP, we are committed to addressing this issue by empowering these individuals and ensuring
they can pursue their desired trades for sustainable livelihoods. Our primary objective is to support and establish job opportunities for skilled Nigerian apprentices who face financial obstacles. By providing the necessary resources, we enable them to translate their acquired skills into viable means of income generation.
