Lifted Launches TEN to Empower 40 million Nigerians

Lifted, an arm of The Isaiah Wealth Initiative (TIWI) has put in motion a pragmatic empowerment initiative called The Empowerment Network (TEN) to lift 40 million Nigerians out of poverty and return 16 million Children back to school in the next 10 years.

The programme kicked off with 5 of the first 100 batch of beneficiaries who received 20,000 as grants and they now have very interesting story to tell while the next round of beneficiary 50 in number received their grants of N50, 000 each to expand their business during the launch of TEN on Saturday in Lagos.

Founder of TEN, Dr. Isaiah Wealth, in his welcome address, said, “Most importantly, we also ensure that this system targets people who have children out of school. This way, The Empowerment Network also caters for out-of-school children because you cannot talk about solving the problem of poverty in the long run without investment in education; illiteracy perpetuates poverty.

“Right after this idea was conceived, we began straight away by putting some money together and selecting beneficiaries to kick off the initiative. Today, some of those beneficiaries are hereafter scaling through the first stage of the scheme, and we are proud to showcase their stories of transformation as we see what they have been able to do with the grants they received. However, this is just the beginning.

In his closing remarks, the founder of TEN urged the Media to use their pen and the opportunity God has given to them to channel TEN to the right places.

Also, prophetess Lianna wealth, the wife of the Founder in her vote of thanks thanked the host for his visionary leadership and his heart towards the less privileged.

She also thanked the special guest of honours for their time in gracing the occasion and urged all media present to use their various media outlets to showcase TEN to the world.

As a show of love, Lianna supported the BETHESDA HOME of the BLIND with a sum of three hundred thousand Naira.

Those who graced the event with their presence include Bishop Wesley Arije, Presiding Bishop March of Faith Int. USA, Mr. Peter Ebere Nwosu, MD. Green life pharmaceuticals, Hon. Bala James, Former Governor of Adamawa State, Mrs. Idara Ahmadu, CEO. Dedicated Concept, Prof Johnson Agharese Egonmwan, Former Director of Strategic planning and permanent secretary Ministry Of Finance, Rachel Adams, Managing Director Sunmoyo PTY amongst others.

In his own speech, Chairman Joint Church Action(JCA), Bishop Wesley Arije noted that for some time there has been a misleading narratives about the church especially in the social media about the church in Nigeria  enriching itself at the expense of the society.

Why the assumption is fuelled by poverty in the system, unless something is done the church may lose the next generation who are presently being  fed with the wrong narrative and miss out in the opportunity to reach out to the lost in poverty stricken areas hence the JCA was set up to facilitate a collaboration of churches in Nigeria acting as one to contribute their part towards the alleviation of poverty in Nigeria.

Apart from helping TEN to achieve its stated objective, JCA will give the church good publicity and image and correct the prevalent erroneous mindset of many who believe that the church is indifferent to the plight of the populace and that JCA will among others foster unity among the churches in Nigeria.
