An update from the board of Right Steps, Inc., which oversees the work of Susana Homes in Nigeria, one of the mission areas supported by Southside members.
Due to environmental and safety concerns, Right Steps Inc. made the decision to relocate many of the younger children at Susana Homes to a rented house in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Additionally, Right Steps has successfully built a new campus for the Right Steps Christian School closer to the village, which has been thriving.
At this time, Right Steps plans to maintain both the Port Harcourt residence and the new school campus. A number of children continue to reside at the original Susana Homes campus, where agricultural projects remain ongoing.
Launch of new educational institute
Now the Right Steps board is announcing a new educational initiative that will use the facilities of the Right Steps Christian School to create the Right Steps Institute of Management and Technology – education at the junior college level, with the aspiration of evolving into a full-fledged four-year degree-granting institution in the future.
This institute will provide educational paths in:
- child care
- computer technology
- medical technician training
- ministry
Financial support is essential. Right Steps is seeking startup funds of approximately $7,000 USD per month. These funds will cover instructor and staff salaries, generator fuel, upkeep expenses and essential supplies.
In addition, Right Steps is seeking your assistance to secure necessary supplies for the institute.
Please read the letter below for a list of needs, and consider a financial donation as well to make the Right Steps Institute of Management and Technology a reality.
