We know our world keeps evolving and nothing remains the same for a long time, but be sure to always be the change you desire, that's a great way to stay afloat.

This time we are happy to bring to you stories from the Lopa people, a tribe tucked away in the Northern part of Nigeria. A small group of people who keep surviving with the barest minimum. Most of their communities being near rivers depend on fishing for their subsistence.

Denis and Rose are the champions who are working with the Lopa people to achieve transformation and bring about sustainable change.  You can plan to visit the Lopa people on a short trip when you have the time, Denis and Rose will be glad to have you. 


There are no schools or literacy centers in the community, for now, Denis and Rose, when they visit the community, gather together and teach school aged children numeracy and basic literacy under a tree, this is an attempt to introduce the children to formal education until a school is established for them.


In order to keep the women engaged, a sewing machine was taken to the community, this affords some of the local women to learn and practice tailoring, one sewing machine is so insufficient considering the number of women it is meant to serve, but it is a good way to start. Some of the women have also been supported to start petty trading.

The Lopa people desire change and look forward to transformation, Denis and Rose have started them on the journey. We welcome you to support the work among these people, they need a school for their children and a fully established tailoring center to engage more local women.
