PLEII – ...Peace and Better Life

PLEII focuses on the paramount causes of poverty and low productivity so that people can become self-sufficient and productive.  Enhancing peace and life is at the heart of PLEII’s community-based efforts to improve basic education, health, engage in conflict resolution and management, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources.

 EDUCATION AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
That a Nation survives, depends so much on the abilties and capabities of the people in that Nation, in generating ideas, developing skills and acquiring knowledge that are required for the ever changing World that we live in.  PLEII’s education and skills development program is concerned with securing basic education for all.  Education is found to be the foremost attack that can be given to poverty right from its root.  PLEII also shows interest and support for the impoverished families that engage in moneymaking activities, especially those operated by the disabled, women and widows.  Decisions that are thoughful and informative with positive effect on lives, families, communities and the entire world are often made by those that are educated.

SOCIAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH
It is often said that “A healthy man is wealthy man” and this applies to all members of his family because for a family to be productive and live above the poverty level, such family must be physically healthy.  PLEII’s health projects focus on the most vulnerable to disease and malnutrition in the scoiety; women and children, but not neglecting the men too.  We channel funds received on health issues mainly into training of health workers, treatment of diseases, provision of clean water, public awareness programmes and lectures on the preventive, detective and treatment measures of STDs, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B.

POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAMME
Giving people the reason to live and be happy goes beyond the provisions of foods, drugs and shelter, though they are importatnt.  An individual appreciates a direct access and opportunity to means of livelihoods and survival, rather than waiting upon some authorities before he could eat or drink. PLEII encourages giving the people access to feed directlty rather than waiting to be fed.  While helping families to produce more food and increase their income by managing their natural resources and preserving the environment for future generations, PLEII educates, relates and supports farmers both men and women in other to increase productivity through various physical and theoretical activities.

 GENDER EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY
PLEII’s work is to carry out public awareness on the reasons why gender inequaliy that has been in existence for years now should be discouraged.  PLEII encourages women participation and involment in politics, holding of public offices and making their opinion count.
