Empowering with Skills and Changing Lives

What Would You Do?

Imagine living in a place where there is not enough food for your children.
No money for medicine when a loved one is sick.
No money for school to send your kids.
No job to provide for life or a future.
                                        Only the shelter you’ve built with your own hands—mud and grass, barely keeping out the sun or rain.                                        Being a young woman sold into marriage or slavery?

This is the reality for countless families around the world.

But here’s the truth: poverty will never be solved with handouts alone. Real change happens when people are empowered—when they gain the skills they need to build better lives for themselves.

That’s what your support makes possible.

When you give, you’re not just providing temporary relief—you’re giving someone the chance to learn a trade, earn an income, feed their family, send their children to school, and restore dignity and hope. A skill lasts a lifetime. It cannot be taken away. It creates opportunity today—and for generations to come.

Your donation isn’t charity—it’s transformation.
Let’s invest in people. Let’s end poverty—not with pity, but with possibility.

A Different Philosophy

  • At Lighting the Path, we believe that the most effective way to break the cycle of poverty is through opportunity. Our vocational training programs equip young people in underserved African communities with the skills they need to secure an income, start businesses, and build better futures. With your support, we can expand access to high-quality, industry-relevant training that creates real, lasting impact. Every donation helps provide supplies, training, and mentorship that transforms lives. Invest in skills, invest in change—partner with us to empower those in need.
