Awaiting Admission Soft
Opportunity (AASO) is about solving problems of increase school drop-outs amongst
the youth and unemployment while sorting out the problem lack of healthy
drinking water in my community. By building Adunni Water factory, which produces
and sells sachet water, financially deprived secondary school graduates are
given easy employment, unemployed youths are also trained on production
processes and people are provided with safe drinking water at affordable price.
Adunni Water factory is now serving as an avenue through AASO to reduce crime
level in my community, Giri – which is a rural settlement in Federal Capital
Territory of Nigeria.
Since government has
failed in his effort to provide portable drinking water to the people,
Adunni Water is a ready
alternative in this area. As water is essential to life in serving as the
medium through which all biochemical reactions take place. Thus, considering
health implications of taking unhealthy water, the company produces one of the
purest and the only sachet water fortified with vitamins, and generates revenue
from selling of this product to the people. As such, Adunni Water enjoys best
patronage in the area for this uniqueness.
Kabir Olajide, the
founder of Adunni Water has been involved in drinking water business all
through his life; he has twelve years acquaintance as C.E.O of two brands
already.
About 80% of 100,000
populations in the community consume sachet water. Hence our Served Addressable
Market is about N1, 200, 000 per day.
This gives Adunni Water Share of the Market is N 32, 000 per day. The price justifies the value, making market
penetration easy for us.
Without much ado, AASO
provides enabling platform for financially disadvantage secondary graduates to
achieve their dream of furthering their education by giving them job
opportunity for one year minimum period. The project also trains unemployed
youth on how to make sachet water and provide easy access to safe drinking
water for the community dwellers with the establishment of Adunni Water.
Extension is on course
for the project at war torn North Eastern Nigeria as part of effort towards
rebuilding this region and making Adunni Water an acceptable brand with
positive perception in this part of the country.
However, the challenges
facing our project are lack of production machines and means of distribution to
the city. The founder plans to start bottle water production by next year and
also extend the project to the war torn (terrorist ravaged) North Eastern
Nigeria as his contribution to the rebuilding process to the region.
The main objective of
AASO is the provision of job opportunity for financially challenged secondary
school leavers (which will in turn reduce the level of crime in my community
and Nigeria at large) and provision of safe and portable drinking water for the
community.
