HelpOne was specifically created with mindset of moving at least one impoverished individual out of extreme poverty with 6-24 months empowerment support specifically tailored to suit state of need of such individual to attain self-reliance/financial independent in shortest possible time.
The first (2013/14) beneficiary of HelpOne was Abdullahi, who was a disadvantaged apprentice learning fashion design at that time. He was moved to Ibadan for advanced exposure in fashion designing in a luxury fashion outfit (Mufu Outfit) at Oke-Ado where he was working as well as learning with weekly wages.
The founder used his influence as one time editor-in-chief for The Press Club of Federal College of Agriculture, Ibadan to secured temporary accommodation for him in the off campus hostel of the college.
After a year of competitive exposure and savings, He came back to Ilobu for his apprenticeship graduation ceremony in 2014 in a classic suit that commanded respect and attractions

2015/16 BENEFICIARY
The second beneficiary of HelpOne Initiative was Ridwan for the 2015/2016 support year.
Ridwan was a social orphan teaching in a nursery school with monthly and irregular salary less than 7000 per month in Ilobu, Osun state. Having scored the required mark in 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to enabled his admission into tertiary institution, his lack of financial supporter to take responsibility for the expenses involved in admission processing coupled with tuition fees lunched him into spontanous brooding. The founder of helpOne who noticed the emotional distress after few days of observation counselled and developed a social support plan suitable for him.
After the completion of his volunteer service, the founder, who had left the town for a temporary factory job at Sumal foods in Ibadan, invited Ridwan and fixed him up for the factory job (as part of the initial plan) while also living with Abdullah, the first beneficiary of helpOne.
