LITE-Africa INTERN INFORMATION
About LITE-Africa
Leadership Initiative for Transformation and Empowerment http://sportzonabrasil.com.br/parimatch-app formerly NIDPRODEV is one of the leading NGOs located in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa with a population of over 130 million from about 250 tribes. The vast, swampy terrain of the Niger Delta region supports almost 20 million people, most in isolated communities accessible only by boat.
The Niger Delta, with its vast oil deposits, serves as the economic nerve center of the Nigeria Federation. Crude oil accounts for over 85% of Nigeria’s revenue, yet those who live in the delta suffer from lack of basic infrastructure services, few educational opportunities, and oil-related environmental destruction having a devastating economic, health and cultural impact on the region.
During LITE’s 13 years of operation, we have been involved in many high profile and successful projects in the Niger Delta. This is an excellent region in which to experience a variety of conflict and development issues first-hand. On the next page is a list of the projects we are working on during 2013-2014, we would like to note that other projects and activities may, and will likely, arise that the intern can participate in.
