What does the Iwuoha Youth need?
To this end, the Iwuoha community is in desperate need of electricity. Combating this despair requires provision of solar and wind-powered units to equally proliferate the idea of renewable energy solutions, along with collaboration with power transmission and distribution companies and NDDC supported transformers. Providing electricity to the Iwuoha community will directly support industrial growth in the community with the aim of expanding to neighboring communities. The Iwuoha Youth Movement needs your help to accomplish these goals. Your generosity will not go unnoticed. We thank you for your support!
