About Us
TheIam3rd Initiative is committed to setting the standard for humanitarian efforts all over the world in recent times.
WHO WE ARE
TheIam3rdTM Initiative is the trademark of the Three-Maverick Humanitarian Foundation. It is an indigenous; globally-oriented yet community-focused non-profit organization composed principally of young people poised to actively deal with the teeming issues of the environment and mankind in it; for the ultimate benefit of Earth and Humanity for self!
It is our visceral philosophy that all worthwhile sacrifice, regardless of the magnitude and genuineness of its selfless motive, is made through a chiefly subliminal intent of ultimate self- benefit and preservation.
This is supported in popularly acclaimed mottos and maxims that have gone on to become ideologies, such as: “One for all, all for one” and “each one, teach one”. This reflects the fundamentally individualistic yet communal nature of our existence. Each of us, through our love for earth and humanity must do what is best for us in the most genuine sense. Though a maverick – and possibly controversial – bedrock upon which to establish a motivation for humanitarian efforts (our main focus being education, health; hygiene and welfare, and environmental preservation), we maintain an objective yet liberal inclination that embraces faith but transcends religion; polity, popular culture, gender and other ideological limitations common in any community, so as to ensure that we are always correctly aligned to best carry-out our commitment to a sustainable earth and a dignified humanity at any given time.
We Aspire To Be The Leading Change Makers In Our Society
TheIam3rd Initiative stands as a beacon for positive change in Nigerian and African societies, dedicated to a three-pronged approach. Firstly, there’s an unwavering commitment to environmental preservation, particularly through waste reduction efforts.
Second, we prioritize the vital causes of girl-child matters and child education, recognizing the pivotal role these areas play in shaping a brighter future. Finally, our dedication to addressing unique medical and mental health issues underscores a holistic approach to societal well-being. By focusing on these three pillars, TheIam3rd Initiative strives to lead impactful change and make a lasting difference in the community.
01
Making Impact
TheIam3rd Initiative aims to make a tangible and sustainable impact in Nigerian and African societies through its multifaceted approach. In the realm of environmental preservation, the organization initiates and supports campaigns for waste reduction, promoting novel incineration and clean energy generation programs, advocating for sustainable practices, and raising awareness about the importance of preserving natural resources. This not only addresses immediate environmental concerns but also contributes to long-term sustainability efforts.
In terms of girl-child matters and child education, the initiative focuses on empowering young girls through education, providing access to schooling, advocating for gender equality, and offering mentorship programs. By emphasizing education as a fundamental right and supporting the educational needs of children, especially girls who often face additional challenges of intersectionality, the initiative works towards a more equitable and knowledgeable society.
Additionally, the organization addresses unique medical and mental health issues (such as sickle-cell disease and OCD respectively) prevalent in certain target regions. Through collaborations with healthcare professionals and mental health experts, we strive to raise awareness, provide resources, and destigmatize these crucial but often neglected aspects of healthcare. This inclusive approach ensures a comprehensive focus on physical and mental well-being within the community.
02
Empowerment
TheIam3rd Initiative believes in empowerment as a catalyst for change. By empowering individuals and communities, particularly women and children, the initiative fosters self- reliance, confidence, and resilience. Empowerment initiatives include awareness and enlightenment programs, community support, and leadership workshops. These efforts not only create opportunities for personal growth but also enable individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities and become agents of change themselves.
Our organization prioritizes inclusivity and participation, ensuring that community members actively engage in decision-making processes. By involving stakeholders at various levels, we encourage ownership and sustainability of the initiatives, fostering a sense of responsibility and pride among the beneficiaries.
03
Shapers
TheIam3rd Initiative sees itself as a catalyst and facilitator of positive change, but also as a collaborative force that partners with local communities, governmental bodies, NGOs, and other stakeholders. We act as shapers of societal values, advocating for policy changes, promoting ethical standards, and setting examples for responsible and sustainable practices.
We aim to inspire a new generation of leaders and changemakers who share our vision for a better society. Through mentorship programs, leadership development, and awareness campaigns, we nurture a sense of social responsibility and encourage individuals to actively participate in shaping their communities for the better.
