Dear PMC Family,

Better late than never, right? 😊

We know we're already three weeks into January, but we couldn't let this month slip by without reaching out to say something that we've been meaning to:

Thank you.

Gratitude First

Looking back on 2025, we're overwhelmed with gratitude for YOU.

Thank you for believing in our mission.
Thank you for showing up for these children.
Thank you for your donations, your prayers, your shares, your encouragement.

Whether you:

• Donated ₦5,000 or ₦500,000
• Gave us your space
• Provided scholarships for the children we serve
• Volunteered your time
• Mentored a child
• Simply shared our posts
• Kept us in your thoughts and prayers

You made a difference. And we don't say that lightly.

Because of you, in 2025 we:

• Distributed monthly hygiene packages to dozens of children
• Kept girls in school who would have otherwise stayed home
• Provided skill training and mentorship
• Ran our annual Loving In Deed campaign
• Expanded our book club, Voices in Pages
• Touched lives and changed futures

Every single child we reached—it was possible because of your partnership.

So from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you. 💜

But Here's the Thing...

2025 was just the beginning.

2026? This is the year that changes everything.

You see, this July 28th, Purple Mentorship for Children celebrates 10 YEARS of impact. A whole decade of walking alongside children, believing in them, and watching them transform.

And we're not celebrating quietly.

What's Coming in 2026

Get ready, because this year we're launching:

FOUR LEGACY INITIATIVES that will define our next decade:

1. The 1000 Children Fund​
Reaching 1,000 children EVERY YEAR (100 monthly) with essential hygiene packages. Because every child deserves dignity and uninterrupted education.

2. The Purple Hub Initiative​
A physical AND digital skill acquisition center where children will learn trades like tailoring, catering, makeup artistry, photography, content creation, tech skills, and entrepreneurship. Real skills. Real income. Real futures.

3. The Learning & Mentorship Portal​
A comprehensive digital platform giving children, parents, and educators access to mentorship videos, workbooks, virtual mentors, and resources—no matter where they are in Nigeria. If you have internet, you have access.

4. Leadership Fellowship for Teens​
An intensive 6-month program where 10 exceptional teens receive personalized mentorship, leadership training, real-world projects, and networking opportunities. We're building tomorrow's leaders today.

PLUS:

Power Up Workshop 2026 (August)
For the FIRST TIME EVER, we're including boys alongside girls! This historic workshop will empower young people with confidence, skills, and vision for their futures.

10th Anniversary Celebration (July 28)
A celebration of a decade of impact, featuring the children and supporters who made it all possible. You're invited!

The Investment Needed

To make all of this happen, we're raising ₦10,000,000 by July 28, 2026.

I know that sounds like a lot. But when you break it down:

• ₦5,000,000 for the 4 Legacy Initiatives
• ₦3,000,000 for our annual operations and outreaches
• ₦2,000,000 for Power Up Workshop 2026

And when you think about the 10,000+ children this will reach over the next decade? It's not just fundraising—it's legacy building.

A Personal Note from Fatima

Ten years ago, I started this journey with a simple belief: every child deserves someone who believes in them.

Today, as I sit here writing this, I'm thinking about all the children we've reached—and all the ones still waiting.

There's Grace, who went from thinking she wasn't "good enough" to becoming head girl in her school.

There's the girl who used to miss school during her period but now shows up every day with confidence because of the hygiene packages you helped provide.

There are the children learning skills that will feed their families for generations.

These stories? They exist because of YOU.

And there are thousands more stories waiting to be written in 2026.

Will you write them with us?

This is our moment. Our 10-year milestone. Our chance to multiply our impact and reach 10,000 more children over the next decade.

I can't do this without you. And honestly? I don't want to.

This is a journey we take together. A legacy we build together. A future we create together.

Will you join us?

Take Action Today

Don't wait. Every day we delay is another day a child goes without support.

Thank You (Again)

We started this email with gratitude, and we'll end with it too.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for being part of the PMC family.

Here's to 2026—the year we build legacies together. 💜

With deep appreciation and excitement for what's ahead,
