Person To Person Africa, a pro-community organisation, has been inaugurated in Abuja with the goal to sensitise and galvanise vulnerable communities across Africa to access socio-economic development.
Speaking at the inauguration, the founder of the organisation, Joi John, said that the goal was to create a safe and inclusive environment for all citizens, no matter their background or identity.
John, in a statement on Wednesday, said it was committed to listening to the unique needs of each community.
We believe that by working together we can create a more equitable and just society. We look forward to making a positive and lasting impact in Nigeria and beyond, she said.
