In August, Afolake Legacy — in partnership with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) — aims to raise £10,000 to support a transformative shoe-making training initiative in Kano, Nigeria.

Building on the success of 2023, this year’s project will double its reach by training 15 women and young people in shoe-making, equipping them with the skills to gain employment or start their own cobbler businesses.

But this program goes beyond craftsmanship. Participants will also receive training in:

• Basic bookkeeping
• Business management
• Financial literacy and savings habits

This initiative targets communities affected by high levels of poverty, unemployment, and insurgency. It’s designed to create sustainable economic opportunities and empower participants to break free from generational cycles of poverty. Some may even return to school to continue their education.

This legacy project is more than just a training course — it’s about job creation, economic empowerment, and building a generation of entrepreneurs ready to lead with purpose.

CBN United Kingdom is part of the wider CBN Europe region, covering England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Globally, our mission is to share the Gospel and make disciples through media evangelism and humanitarian aid.

Afolake Legacy is a project of the Badara Kafaru Foundation, created to bring hope and transformation to young people in Nigeria. It is more than a mission — it’s a promise to live with intention, empower communities, and inspire lasting impact.
