GEMSTONE is on a mission to build a network of a critical mass of Nation Builders
across all segments of our society, sectors of our economy and at all levels of our
educational institutions. This we intend to do by:
INSPIRING a VISION of a New Nigeria in the hearts of the people.
INFUSING a new set of VALUES into our national ethos and social consciousness.
INTEGRATING a lifestyle of leadership and excellence into the personal creed
and work ethic of all Nigerians, thereby transforming our people into exemplary
leaders, organizations into global market leaders and our Nation into the most
desirable place to live in.

The compounding complications of decaying values in our society
have clearly reached an alarming stage.
It is safe to say that Nigeria has arrived at the point of an unsustainable societal decline.
Much more than talk about the problem, something critical must be done immediately to
infuse the right values into the consciousness and social ethos of our nation.
It is amazing to think that if in Nigeria’s current decadent state,
we are Africa’s largest economy, then one can only imagine
what the size of our economy would become
if we could build Nigeria into a most desirable nation to live in.
Our generation has been endowed and empowered by Providence to deliver a nation that
our children will be glad to inherit and we would be proud to bequeath to them.
CLEARLY, FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

As a non-governmental, non-political and not-for-profit leadership institution,
we seek opportunities to deliver accelerated national transformation on a
sustainable basis through the “SYNERGY” of the network and financial support
of our 1. Partners 2. Donors & 3. Sponsors.
Our funding structure is based on our Partners, Donors and Sponsors (PDS) model
• PARTNERS commit to regular financial support of any amount of their choice;
monthly, quarterly and annually.
• DONORS are irregular financial supporters who make occasional donations of
any amount of their choice.
• SPONSORS partner with us on specific projects and programs in cash and kind.
This type of financial commitment is usually mutually beneficial to both parties
and guarantees visibility for the sponsor except if otherwise stated.
SYNERGY … OUR FUNDING MECHANISM

W H AT D O W E N E E D T O G E T T H E J O B D O N E ?
As our operations scale up nationwide, our greatest needs are
1) HUMAN RESOURCE CAPABILITIES in form of skilled man power (staff
and volunteers)
2) FINANCIAL CAPACITY to meet our ADMINISTRATIVE expenses and
sustain our OPERATIONS.
Our Administrative expenses typically include salaries for staff as well as
allowances for volunteers, rent, diesel and power etc. for our
administrative office and transportation.
Our Operational expenses include acquisitions of computers, laptop,
internet modem etc.

We also have SPECIAL PROJECTS such as the completion of an 84-SEATER
AUDITORIUM / TRAINING HALL to enhance our regular training capacity.
The hall which has been constructed up to roofing level will be
completed, finished and furnished for an estimated cost of
N5,000,000.00 (Five Million Naira only).
GEMSTONE is looking for endowment funding for the auditorium and we
will be happy to name the auditorium after a sole funder. Alternatively,
in the event that the contribution that comes from multiple sources, we
will specially acknowledge and appreciate our donors on a prominent
plaque strategically placed on the auditorium walls.
