LATEST UPDATE:
Please Help Shape Tehn’s 2014 End Of Year Charity FlightIt’s that time of the year again when we get together as one in order to put smiles on the less privilege in our society. We have decided as a group to focus on the elderly this year under the theme:” Getting together to help the elderly as we are going to need the help someday”
According to Nigeria’s current estimated demographic data, there are:
Poor Nigerians = 58 million
Total Population = 170 million
% of elderly adults (55+) = 7% Going by the figures above, we can estimate that there are currently about 4 million elderly folks living below poverty line. That’s a whole lot of people with nowhere to go for help as of when needed.
We know we don’t have the resources to help as many as we would have liked but our commitment is to make some real difference no matter how small it may be. We are of the believe that a combination of small meaningful efforts by well-meaning Nigerians can make the desired change we all crave.
What are we asking for at this stage?· Ideas on how we should go about this ambition of ours
· Names of homes specifically set up to care for the elderly
· Nominate elderly folks that you know is living below the poverty line
Prospective Timeline
September – Consultation
October – November – Fund raising campaign
December – Charity FlightLastly, as always we would like to thank you guys for all the support throughout the years. Without you guys there is simply no TeHN.
Let’s make it happen and of course let the change we crave start from each and every one of us
