Sponsored by Union Bank and implemented by Rural Development and Reformation Foundation (RUDERF) in conjunction with the Igbodo Development Union (IDU), WLMP is a community-based mentorship programme that utilises local human resources and trained mentors to build and strengthen community youths using a structured curriculum.
The project is designed to address societal issues ranging from illegal migration to violence, extremism and other vices.
Another key part of the project is the establishment of a book club in the community to encourage a reading culture among Igbodo youths.
