OUR CORPORATE PROFILE

SPLENDOUR VINTAGE HEIGHTS FOUNDATION
(THE RURAL PEOPLE)

ABOUT US

                                       
The need to support and promote the efforts, pains and achievements 
of the rural dwellers cannot be 
over-emphasized.  Splendour Vintage Heights Foundation
 (The Rural People) a registered non-governmental 
organisation with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria partners with the rural communities to 

                                 ​
Above all, we have almost the full participation of every rural dweller in order to
 achieve a successful community development programme that targets the overall
 sustainability of the community.  For us to become the medium through which 
community development programmes are organized and promoted, we need the
 partnership of every one that believes in the achievement of rural development to help
 us fight the kidnapping, oil bunkering, illiteracy, poverty and diseases amongst others 
that are inherent in our rural communities and help them believe in pooling their resources 
and efforts together in bettering their day to day activities.
OUR PROJECTS
OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROJECT
Such resources includes books, school shoes and bags, school uniforms, computers, 
tuition fees and such other fees that a child might be asked to pay in the course of the
 academic year. Presently we have some orphans in our scholarship programme under this project.
BACKERS PROJECT

WIDOWS WITHOUT CHILDREN (WWC)​
sensitize them on the true essence of community development and also promotes their 
struggles and efforts with the help of donors.  We go into the upland and creeks to sensitize
 the rural dwellers on the need for them to fully contribute and participate in the issues that
 concerns their well-being.
                                                                  
Furthermore, we help them to identify such programmes that can enhance them
 educationally, economically, socially and otherwise and put our efforts/resources 
(human and material) with that of our donors in harnessing their efforts into achieving 
community development.
We have lots of projects that we have embarked upon in bringing rural development to 
every targeted community.  For some of these projects, we personally bear the full bills 
especially as they might be time bound (such as school terms and traditional periods).  
For some, we partner with some agencies and volunteers to achieve them and yet for others, 
we have the full sponsorship of our partners to be able to implement such projects.
                                                   




OUR MISSION, VISION AND CORE VALUES 
     
OUR VISION: A rural community where sustainable development activities are achieved through popular participation of the rural dwellers with or without the help of change agents.
OUR MISSION: Using advocacy, partnership, linkages and community development practices to promote and achieve sustainable development at the rural areas.
OUR CORE VALUES: Empowerment, Partnership, Sustainability, Popular Participation, Research and Identifiable Structure.





                                             

​This project aims at creating a portfolio whereby we can have all that is needed to send any out-of-school rural child to school.
                         This project covers all the resources and funds that is needed for scholarships in every academic year in an identified rural community.
                                    

DAMAGE CONTROL PROJECT
        

 This project caters for all kinds of environmental crisis/hazards within the rural communities and all kinds of epidemics. It also looks to help in certain seasonal problems plaguing our rural communities such as fire outbreaks and dryness of streams that leads to shortage of good drinking water in the villages.
                                       
Therefore, this project packages relief, immunization and vaccines and any other material that maybe need to curb the disaster at hand.
                                       

                                                 
This project is aimed at backing up all widows, orphans and those referred to as less-priviledged in the rural communities.The project is packaged to help in bringing about HELP such as educationally, economically, socially and otherwise.
                                  
                                              
​This project covers only those who are identified as widows without children (WWC) in the rural communities. In most African communities, some widows are made not to remarry with the belief that their late husbands will kill them if they do.  As a result, they are forced to enter a concubinage relationship with their late husbands' brothers.
                               
A lot of widows have debunked and resisted this belief and have also remained as widows without children (for those of them that never had children or that lost theirs at the death of their spouse.                                        
This project identifies with their strength and partners with them in achieving their dreams without becoming a liability to anyone.
FLAIR-SHOWCASE PROJECT


This project helps the youths in the rural communities to develop and showcase their flair. 
                       
One of the greatest problems of the rural dwellers is the inability to identify their God given talent and gift.  
             The project showcases all kinds of skill-acquisition programmme for the youth in the rural area to engage in especially in their areas of specialization.  Becoming a genius in your calling is the hallmark here.
                                       
                                                           
You can participate in any of our projects by volunteering, sharing our activities in our blog, funding or partnering in any meaningful way that can help bring sustainable development to that person who has almost lost hope in the rural area today.

CHARITY VERSUS DEVELOPMENT

Image
“ True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. ” -Reverend Martin Luther King, 1967 [1]    http://www.globalresearch.ca/charity-versus-solidarity-do-development-ngos-do-more-harm-than-good/5343236 Charity can be defined as giving to help make people’s lives better while community development is moving beyond charity to walk together and help improve people’s lives. Today, lots of people prefer to do charity than being committed in partnering to improve people's standard of living.  Community development does not only improve the lives of others around us but also helps to improve ours as partners.  https://attackpoverty.org/2011/charity-vs-development/ The following table according to Cooperative Baptist Fellowship best describe the differences between charity and community development.

WHERE IS THE LOVE

Image
As the world celebrates 'global day of parents' on the1st of June every year, I cant help but wonder what the same world thinks about those who are living and growing without having the experience of what a mother/father relationship is.  These are people who are constantly reminded by caregivers that they are not their parents and should therefore be grateful for whatever attempt they make in providing food, shelter, clothing and security which forms the basic needs of every human being. The task of caring for someone else in ones real poor state is a huge one and huge(er) is even the task of trully caring in the real sense of the word 'care'.  Then, the real issue is what could be the experience of a child who lives with people that present themselves as "foster parents" but are not parents in any sense of it.  i just hope these children will grow up and become parents than the people they see and live with today. The role of a foster parent according

IS THERE A SOLUTION: ILLITERACY IN THE RURAL AREAS

Image
In defining illiteracy, it is important to understand what literacy is all about.   Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society according to OECD’s  Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies . Illiteracy on the other side means the state of being illiterate – lack of any or enough education. dictionary.reference.com/browse/ illiteracy.  The causes of illiteracy are something that one cannot link to destiny because certain circumstances and situations can actually cause one into becoming an illiterate.  They include Poverty: when you live below poverty line, the basic needs of life (food, shelter and security) become a struggle to get.  I
