STRATEGIES:

1. Through the provision of empowerment training programs in the form of skills acquisition, the foundation intends to achieve a reasonable decline in the poverty rate amongst women and youth.
 
2. When women and youth are trained in the areas of professional domestic and hospitality services delivery, they would certainly be preferable to the children who are brought from the villages to the cities for the same purpose and who in most cases have no fore-knowledge of the person they will be dealing with. Most of these children are subjected to different forms of inhuman treatment, and are neither being paid nor sent to school. When there is an alternative to the children, they can afford to enjoy their childhood, go to school, and have a better future. This, the Foundation believes would help reduce, if not totally eradicate child labour and child trafficking.
 
3. Dewdrop Foundation helps secure jobs for its participants through its partnership with National Directorate of Employment (NDE) as well as scouting for jobs with other stakeholders.
   
4. The Foundation provides an alternative form of education or an informal education which is equivalent to its formal counterpart through creating a career pattern in domestic service delivery thereby ensuring dignity in honest labour.

The Dewdrop Foundation provides its participants with a one month attachment/ internship program which gives the participant a first hand experience in their different fields. The Foundation works in Partnership with the following establishments to actualize this:

• BLOOMING CHICKEN FAST FOOD, 30A KARU ABUJA
• CACHEZ GARDEN , CANEWOOD HOTEL, PLOT 217/224
