FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Accra, Ghana; Nigeria – 1st November 2024 – The Louis Love Nest Foundation proudly celebrates the extraordinary success of Project STEAM 2024, which marks the simultaneous 8th Edition of Business Boost Bootcamp Institute (B3I). This groundbreaking dual initiative, powered by DAME Media and PR Solutions, has combined health education and business with entrepreneurial empowerment, aiming to tackle iodine deficiency and promote nutritional awareness while equipping participants with essential business skills.

A Global Impact, Powered by Community and Innovation

Uniting coaches, supporters, and participants from the US, UK, Nigeria, Ghana, Canada, South Africa, and Abu Dhabi, Project STEAM 2024 & B3I launched an impactful, month-long FREE Project STEAM Training on October 1st, 2024, in celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day. This initiative brought life-changing knowledge and actionable tools to participants, empowering individuals and communities to drive lasting, positive change on a global scale. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and a vibrant community network, Project STEAM & B3I inspired a collective transformation, reinforcing the power of unity and innovation for a brighter future worldwide.

Join the Movement: Be Part of Change!

Coach Ndali Modebe, the driving force behind both Project STEAM and B3I, urges communities to come together: “We need all hands-on deck! Universities, Secondary Schools, churches, and local communities seeking to empower their members—partner with us! Host workshops, distribute educational materials, and help us reach more people. We also encourage health organizations and emergency units to collaborate, expanding our reach and impact.”

Modebe, first grandchild of Mr. Iodine, Prof. OLV Ekpechi, alongside Dr. B. Onyeneme and Prof. Ifeoma Modebe, reaffirms her commitment to keep her family’s legacy alive by calling for the construction of a State-of-the-Art Iodine Laboratory, a dedicated Research Institute, and a modern Iodine 4D Library.

Project STEAM 2024 & B3I: Health and Business Empowerment

This dual initiative, Project STEAM 2024 and the 8th Edition of the Business Boost Bootcamp Institute, is a call to action for holistic community growth—promoting iodized salt and nutrition education while fostering entrepreneurial resilience and personal empowerment.

A Heartwarming Impact: Feeding Our Future

As part of our outreach efforts, we proudly fed 400 street children in Onitsha, Anambra State, providing them with nutritious meals. This initiative took place across various locations, including Red Cross, Agbakoba Park, and Otu Ocha regions. Since July 2024, the Louis Love Nest Foundation, in partnership with Sir Sam Modebe Foundation, has fed 200-300 street children monthly, showcasing our commitment to fostering healthier communities.

Empowering Entrepreneurs: Supporting Local Businesses

We are excited to announce that we are sponsoring 20 businesses within the Project STEAM program to register their business names. This initiative aims to empower local entrepreneurs and strengthen the economic landscape of our communities.

Innovators Shine: Celebrating Creativity and Knowledge

During Project STEAM 2024, we held a pop quiz where participants, affectionately referred to as "Innovators" by Coach Ndali, competed for exciting prizes. Winners received cash prizes, courses, coaching sessions, data, and eBooks—tools to help them continue their personal and professional growth.

Let's Talk with the Coaches: A Dialogue for Growth

On October 30, 2024, we hosted "Let's Talk with the Coaches," featuring an impressive lineup of mentors, including:

• Coach Ndali Modebe (Host/ Project STEAM Coordinator)
• Moremi Elekwachi (Project STEAM Coach)
• Don Francis Osaji (Project STEAM Coach)
• Oreoluwa Afe (Project STEAM Coach)
• Nonso Areh (Project STEAM Coach)
• Kenny Amasike (Project STEAM Coach)
• Komla Elikem Mathis (Project STEAM Coach)

This engaging discussion provided insights into various topics, fostering a collaborative environment for learning and growth.

Facing Challenges with Hope and Determination

Even though we face some tough challenges—like making sure people in far-away areas can get iodized salt and keeping people aware of health issues—Coach Ndali stays positive. She believes that working together makes a huge difference. For example, her monthly outreach in Anambra and partnerships with groups like the Enugu State Young Farmers Association (ENSYFA) and Ephesus Gatherings in Ghana has helped extend us to reach over 350 people in our community.

With help from sponsors and community partners, Coach Ndali says, “We’re building stronger, healthier and innovative communities.” Thanks to everyone’s support, they’re proving that real change happens when people come together with a common goal!
