Solutions we have provided
Azura-Edo Economic Empowerment Project
LAPO, in partnership with Azura Power West Africa Limited, provides micro-credit loans, mentorship, and business advisory services to entrepreneurs in Edo host communities.
This initiative aims to enhance access to finance, foster business growth, and improve the livelihoods of local business owners
Pineapple Juice Factory in Edo State
LAPO is constructing and equipping a pineapple juice factory in Ekpoma, Edo State, with support from the Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP).
This initiative aims to boost household incomes for farmers, factory workers, and traders while reducing pineapple wastage in the community.
By enhancing pineapple juice production, the project strengthens the food value chain and contributes to food security, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Caregivers and young adults in Lagos, Ogun, Edo, and FCT Abuja benefit from economic empowerment, business support, mentorship, and advisory services through this initiative. The programme helps families break free from the cycle of poverty, fostering self-reliance and dignity by focusing on children’s education and improving caregivers’ income-generating capacities.
