Transform Lives: Support Refugee Learning Programmes
Donation protected
Hello, I'm Viviene, the Founder and Company Director of Construction and Engineering Opportunities (CEO). My journey in the construction and engineering industry has been marked by resilience and a deep commitment to social responsibility. Today, I'm reaching out to you to help support a cause very close to my heart: providing educational courses to refugees, giving them the tools and opportunities they need to thrive.
My Mission
Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to breaking down the systemic barriers that hinder the progress of marginalized individuals, especially women and those from the BAME community. I have faced my share of discrimination based on race, gender, and limited advancement prospects. These challenges only strengthened my resolve to create positive change. Through CEO, I have been able to offer young people skills and opportunities not typically available in mainstream education.
The Impact We Can Make Together
As an entrepreneur, plumbing and heating engineer, teacher, and motivational speaker, I have used my diverse experiences to shape the lives of countless young people. Now, I want to extend this transformative impact to refugees. By offering mentorship, qualifications, and practical work experience, I believe we can empower refugees with the tools they need to build sustainable futures and integrate successfully into their new communities.
Bridging the Skill Gap
There is an urgent need for a diverse and skilled workforce in the construction and engineering sectors. That's why I create and lead training programs designed to equip individuals with the technical expertise needed to succeed. My journey—from founding Solar Plumbing and Heating to holding senior positions in education and a charity—reflects my unwavering commitment to fostering positive change.
A Deeply Personal Mission
As a STEM Ambassador, my vision extends beyond professional endeavours. This mission is deeply personal, rooted in my desire to combat discrimination, foster inclusivity, and empower underrepresented groups. Through education, mentorship, and advocacy, I aim to dismantle the barriers that stand in the way of progress, paving the way for a more equitable and sustainable future for refugees.
Why I Need Your Help
I am raising funds to deliver essential educational courses to a cohort of refugees. Your generous support will enable us to:
Provide Comprehensive Training: Cover the costs of materials, instructors, and facilities.
Offer Mentorship Programs: Pair refugees with industry professionals for guidance and support.
Equip Refugees with Tools for Success: Ensure that each participant has access to the resources they need to thrive.
Join Me in Making a Difference
Inspired by the government’s Community Programme that set me on this path in my youth, I remain steadfast in my commitment to driving positive change, one life at a time. I believe in the transformative power of resilience, compassion, and dedication to helping others.
In honouring this cause, we reaffirm our collective responsibility to create a world where opportunity knows no bounds. Together, we can empower refugees through education and transform lives.
Donate now to support our mission and be a part of this transformative journey.
Your generosity can make a world of difference. Thank you for your support!
