Foundation for societal Empowerment and Rejuvenation (FOSER) encourage peace and harmonious growth in society by supporting young women and men including vulnerable groups to develop their human potential in order to exploit different opportunities that will increase their confidence towards improving their quality of life and promote their social inclusion, partnership and networks aimed at achieving apositive and equitable development in society. FOSER also sensitizes and mobilizes the vulnerable and underprivileged youths as well as the marginalized to participate in socio-economic activities as an important tool for lifting them out of poverty and creating a favorable society for sustainable development while also giving education priority as a powerful instrument for meaningful development.
Kings Leodews Initiative is an organization that works in the areas of health, education, water and sanitation, civic education, governance and human rights, peace education and peace building and income generation while Initiative for the Liberalization of Physically Challenged People in Nigeria (ILPCPN) is an integrated Non-Governmental Organization for physically challenged people, with the purpose of providing remedies to social issues, education and knowledge to the physically challenged.FOSER in conjunction with Kings Leodews Initiative plus Initiative for the Liberalization of Physically Challenged People in Nigeria (ILPCPN) have partnered in providing health and sanitation awareness campaigns as well as healthcare interventions via the distribution of vitamin supplements for children and pregnant women including lactating mothers in communities of Bauchi State.
The collective desire by all the aforementioned actors involved in the proposed “Know Your Rights and Fight Police Brutality Project” is to see that police brutality is reduced to a bare minimum because all the actors mutually agree that allowing the problem to continue unchallenged shall not allow for societal harmony to take root.
