Our RITE Approach

Dependence to Independence

Family and Individual donations can create a cycle of dependency if communities are not empowered to contribute to their own welfare and community development. We do a disservice to the communities we are trying to help if families and individuals rely too heavily on charity to meet their needs.

OUR TRANSFORMATIONAL MODEL - RITE

REACH - OUT

Beyond Nations’ first step towards transforming communities from poverty is conducting needs assessments of various communities. During this phase, we carry-out outreaching activities and invite community leaders and local residents and provide household basic items including food items, bedding, mosquito nets, clothing, scholastic materials, and so many others.

We use this opportunity to formally introduce ourselves to the communities that we intend to work with over several months and years to come. We believe that communities need to know who we are before they commit to work with us. During this exercise, we interact with local leaders and residents the challenges that they face in their daily lives. We also register households and individuals according to their life challenges and make plans and arrangements to address their challenges as an Organization.

IDENTIFY

Beyond Nations researches more about the challenges that communities face and and makes necessary arrangements to deliver help and assistance with the help of our donors, partners and sponsors. Oftentimes, challenges vary by family situations and circumstances.

Our skills training programs vary by individual interests and availability of resources but they include;

* Hair dressing * Tailoring * Crocheting and Knitting * Soap Making * Brick Laying * Baking * Farming * Numeracy & Literacy classes * Computer & Digital skills * Basic Business Management Training.

TRAINING

Beyond Nations provides vocational, business and life skills training opportunities aimed at enabling the youths and unemployed women set up small market driven enterprises. We are committed to changing the narrative of poverty and unemployment challenges amongst these groups of people.

We have partnered with various vibrant social enterprises to offer professional training services to several unemployed youths and women. At the end of the training every trainee develops a business plan that qualifies her for a business start-up loan. Our training is a tailored 3-months mindset change and skills training program. This is open for all unemployed youths who dropped out of school or were unable to obtain education, young mothers and women who have no income to sustain their families.

Our mandate is to create and find meaningful employment and sustainable income sources for all the unemployed groups of people and most especially the youths so that they can be able to improve their lives and sustain households to provide a better future and develop their communities.

EMPLOYMENT

Beyond Nations partners will various organizations, corporations and companies to provide employment opportunities to our trainees at the end of their skills training programs.Most of our Trainees get hired by electrical companies, warehouses, schools, churches, companies, e.t.c

We further support our trainees with business planning as we embark on providing support especially in terms of capital and resources to help them set up small scale (start-up) business enterprises. Set-up business enterprises include, Tailoring, art & crafts, carpentry, motorbike transportation (boda boda), hair salon shops, liquid soap businesses and so many others.

In the first few weeks to months, we consistently visit our trainees at their places of work and business locations to confirm that they are copying out well with their establishments and also continuously to offer support especially with marketing their products and meeting deadlines.
