Why Your Gift Matters

A Skilled Graduate Changes
More Than One Life


St. Michael Skill Trade College was founded by Chief Engr. Dr. Michael Sonayon Kunnuji in Badagry, Lagos State — with a simple but powerful belief: that practical, affordable vocational education is the fastest route out of poverty for young Nigerians.

When a graduate learns to weld, design, wire, or code, they do not just find employment — they become employers. They hire apprentices, support families, and contribute to local economies. One trained graduate can positively impact dozens of people.

Your donation — at any level — directly funds the scholarships, tools, and completion grants that make this transformation possible for students who could not otherwise afford it.

  • Fund a full scholarship for a student in need ($500–$1,000)
  • Sponsor workshop equipment and tools for a department
  • Provide completion grants for students near graduation
  • Contribute to facility improvements and new classrooms
  • Support instructor training and curriculum development

The training gave me more than a skill — it gave me my dignity and my independence.
