As the founder of a consulting firm devoted to training young
adults in business competence, Oluwasemiye Michael Larayetan readies a new
generation for leadership. AYEM, African Youth Empowerment Movement, has been
providing business training in Abuja, Nigeria since 2000. For the last eight
years, though, Semiye Michael has gone farther….literally. He formed the
OneKidProject, working to educate rural children who live far away from city
life.
With the help of my wife, voluteers and donors, I'm working to give an
abandoned generation a personal voice of emancipation and self-identity.
I started the OneKidProject to meet challenges impeding education in the rural
villages in Abuja Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. We want to identify the
most vulnerable children and find funding sources to educate them. We provide
rural children with tuition fees, school uniforms, learning materials and
spiritual support.
