Finding Disabilities is aimed at getting girls living with disabiliities off the streets in the North Eastern town of Potiskum, in Nigeria. They beg for a living which exposes them to GBV and other forms of violence making them dependent on the stipends they get and at the mercy of the givers. These limit their chances furthermore at reaching their God- given potentials.

We believe that no matter what one's circumstances of birth are, with a little help, guidance and push, anyone can reach the zenith of their lives, even people living with disabiliities.(PWDs)

 Strategy- Hence, after the girls chose to be trained in Tailoring, we came up with a plan of a six months training, where they will learn to sew different types of  dresses and at the end of the training, be given startup sets of sewing machines and tools.

Target- 20 girls living with disabiliities.

Duration- six months from February to July to complete a basic course in tailoring.

How you can be involved -  With a donation of USD 100 per girl , we can have a start up of a sewing machine and a set of tailoring kit..
