The Completion of Omitide Office Building

What are you raising money for?

We are raising money to complete Omitide office building located at Sajowa Camp, Imafon/Igbatoro Road, Akure, Ondo State, in Nigeria for maximum utility. Completing the building will help us to have the following: 1. A training space that can contain more beneficiaries. 2. A space that can completely shield us from the sun and the rain. 3. An official working space. 4. A place of contact for our organization. 5. A place where we can train and model what we teach. 6. A place that will make us closer to our beneficiaries and increase our impact in the community. 7. Something that can serve all the mentioned purposes and still secure the land.

Why are you raising the funds?

In October 2024, we started operating on our four plots of land at Sajowa Camp, Imafon/Igbatoro Road, Akure, Ondo State, in Nigeria. We needed a space for our rainwater harvesting training for 150 farmers in a batch of 50 farmers, so we got funded to construct a shed. We later saw the need to secure the land, the cash crops, and to prevent trespassers from encroaching so we fundraised to fence the property and purchased the materials needed. During the training, the shed couldn’t contain all our beneficiaries. Even while working on the farm, the shed shielded us from the sun but not completely from the rain. Hence, there was a need for: 1. A training space that can contain more beneficiaries. 2. A space that can completely shield us from the sun and the rain. 3. An official working space. 4. A place of contact for our organization. 5. A place where we can train and model what we teach. 6. A place that will make us closer to our beneficiaries and increase our impact in the community. 7. Something that can serve all the mentioned purposes and still secure the land even though it might not completely prevent trespassers. So the need for an office building came to mind and we started the building on the 28th of April 2025 with the materials initially meant for the fencing. The building has been roofed with external doors and window burglaries fixed but needs to be completed for maximum utility.
