OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
We envision a world where all youths, even in the remote areas of the world, have sovereignty to create opportunity for themselves and the society. At House of Babiti, we believe that a well-versed youth is best to take care of his/her environment. This is why we engage youths to plant a tree in their youthful years, which signifies in the latter their contribution to curb the problem of climate change.
HOW DO WE INTEND TO FULFILL THIS GOAL?
House of Babiti, with regards to it preference is committed carryout different project like community campaign, organizing discussion session in local community, secondary g and tertiary institutions across the country to know the actual needs of these people. We believe, it’s not all about just given aid, support and basic materials, but trying to know more about them; get to talk to them, we hear people side of story about things that is drastically affecting them and share collective ideas and way forward. The information will help us to make good impact in their lives.
Part of the organization goals of accomplishing a GREEN AFRICA, we would integrate African youth to be involve in the green world that is agriculture. Many rural communities in Nigeria, which are mostly occupied by farmers have restricted infrastructure like telecommunication and power supply which upholds today’s youth activities. Many youth will not want to go to such areas because there is no access to internet, if these infrastructures are been provided it will promote agriculture in Nigeria. For example, a youth whose father is a farmer and reside in the village, he/she will not want to go to his/her village just because they will be deprive of access to the internet and so on. Therefore, they see it as an obsolete profession. The point is, youth needs to be oriented about the significant of venturing into agriculture to get back to the once upon a time glory in our climate.
