Organisation targets 50 years for poverty eradication programmes
The International Christian Organisation for Sustainable Development (ISCOSD), says it is targeting 50 years from 2023 to fight poverty eradication in Nigeria, in line with the UN’s agenda to fight the global poverty challenges.
Bishop Joseph Vambe, ISCOSD’s President, made this known in his seminar presentation on ‘War Against Poverty and Inequality’, to mark ISCOSD 2nd World Day Celebration.
ISCOSD is an international organisation which represents the global voice of billions of people: Christian, Lawyers, Scientists, Journalists, Doctors, Researchers among others.
ISCOSD mission is to rise against global affliction, to change the current global poverty narrative from the church to the entire global community.
“This is a vision given by God in early 2015. The Christian vanguard and movement aligned to achieve the sustainable development goal one (SDG 1) of the United Nations Global Goals by 2072 (50 years target).
“Today is our world ISCOSD day, we had the first one last year where we went to Kuchinkoro village to share with those in the IDP camps and also shared with some widows.
” So this year we decided to meet together to share in knowledge, looking at global poverty and the need for us to key into some of the projects we have in ISCOSD so that we can all live above poverty.
According to Vambe, poverty is the bedrock for global affliction and over 90 per cent of both personal and corporate socio-economic problems, issues and challenges in the global community is caused or aggravated by poverty
He said bad governance, prejudice, violence, illnesses, sorcery, hell, corruption, slavery, dysfunctional families, divorce, low life expectancy, ignorance, injustice, marginalisation are also contributed to the rise of poverty in the societies of the world.
To tackle the challenge, the ISCOSD president explained that the organisation had designed some programmes for the uplifting of both urban and rural poor from poverty through unique projects to live above poverty and comfortably.
He listed some of the projects to include donor specified projects, financial and wealth building intelligence project, church economic synergy project, good governance/leadership project, E-commerce multi-level marketing platform project, social community projects and the rest.
Also, Mrs Mary Agbo, Deputy National Director on Programme and Strategy, said the basic significance of the seminar was to educate the ISCOSD stakeholders to seek ways to eradicate poverty among Nigerians.
In addition, to ensuring that every Nigerian, every human being on the planet earth have a standard of living.
According to her, ISCOSD has the projection between now and 50 years to strategies ways to execute its poverty eradication plans.
In his contribution, Mr Olanrewaju Osho, a participant, said the seminar was not only needed in the church but by the larger society too.
“This seminar is what we need, not only in the church, but in the Mosque, in the shrine, in the school and every where in Nigeria.
“We need this kind of revelational knowledge sharing platform so that Nigerians can understand that 131 out of two hundred million living below poverty is unacceptable. “
