"No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted."- Aesop(Ancient Greek Writer)

Dear Active Citizen,

Democracies need active and informed citizens who are willing and able to take responsibility for themselves, their communities and contribute to the political process.We have set ourselves the ambitious target of working with our supporters to raise N10,000,000 (ten million naira) from donations. This will enable us to work with more young people across Nigeria over the next year.We are asking for your donation at a time when our work is needed more than ever. Our democracy is under threat in Nigeria, as the Nigerian government wants to enact legislation that would see internet users slapped with huge fines or lengthy jail terms for being critical of government which the government considers hate speech!We believe the #OfficeOfTheCitizen is the highest office in the land and as such, citizens must be provided with the platforms that give them a voice in the affairs of their state.To expand our work to meet these challenges in 2020, we need your help.PLEASE DONATE TODAY!

Have a great week!

The EiE Nigeria Team
