Our Story

In 2022, we walked into a small gathering of young people in Nigeria — some in school, some struggling, some unsure of their direction — and we asked them one question:

“If someone believed in you today, what would change in your life?”

Their answers sparked the beginning of POB Community.

Some said they wanted a skill but had no one to teach them.

Some said they needed guidance but had no mentor.

Others simply said, “I just want a chance.”

That day we realized something powerful:

when you groom a young person, you shape more than their skill — you shape their identity, their confidence, and their future.

And with that, Purpose of Barbering Community (POB Community) was born.

✨ What We’ve Done So Far

Over the last three years, we’ve trained and empowered 150+ young people across Nigeria through:

Barbering & grooming skills training

Leadership and purpose coaching

Mentorship and apprenticeship placement

Community service that builds character

A safe space where young people feel seen, guided, and supported

Many of our alumni now run small businesses, assist family income, or work in local grooming shops.

For some, POB wasn’t just a program — it was a lifeline.

Why We’re Raising Funds

In December 2026, we are launching our biggest program yet:

Cutting the Future 2026 – Lagos–Ibadan Edition

Goal: Train and empower 100+ youth

Lagos & Ibadan

️December 2026 (Date TBA)

To run this program at the level these young people deserve, we need support.

Your donation will help us provide:

Barbering tools and starter kits

Training materials & practical equipment

Venue, logistics, transportation

Mentorship resources

Refreshments, media coverage, certification

Every contribution directly impacts a young person’s future.

Why Your Support Matters

Nigeria is full of brilliant young people who simply need access — to skills, guidance, and opportunity.

POB Community offers all three.

When you donate, you aren’t just giving money.

You’re giving someone a chance to work, earn, grow, and believe again.

You’re helping a teenager learn a skill that can feed their family.

You’re helping a young adult discover purpose they never knew they had.

You’re shaping leaders who will shape their communities.

Join Our Mission

We are raising $10,000 USD to bring this vision to life across two major cities.

I can’t do this alone — but together, we can transform futures.

Thank you for supporting this mission.

Thank you for believing in young people.

Thank you for helping us cut the future, shape leaders, and empower a generation.
