Why We Do This!

My name is Ahmed Kadi, and I am a part of the Senior Leadership Team at a secondary school. I am also the creator of Troglodyte Society NFTs. Through this project, my goal is to raise funds for the construction of a children's center in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The center will not only serve as a "drop-in" youth club but also as a pioneering web3 training center dedicated to educating kids and young people about web3 and blockchain technology. Our aim is to empower them with the knowledge and skills they need to create a sustainable future and uplift themselves from poverty.

At the center, we will prioritize meeting the specific needs and requirements of the young people. Members will have a significant influence on the operation of the club and its activities. In addition to providing a safe and engaging environment and web3 training, we will offer supplementary education in key subjects such as Mathematics, English Language, English Literature, IT, Arts, and Music. By providing quality education, we strive to equip children and young adults with a well-rounded set of skills and knowledge.

By combining the offerings of a youth club, Supplementary Education, and a web3 training center, our center will provide a holistic approach to empowering young people in Sierra Leone. Through education, sustainable practices, and technology, we aim to create a path out of poverty and enable a brighter future for these children and young adults.

My Story

I was born and raised in Sierra Leone, West Africa, where I experienced the horrors of the civil war firsthand. I still remember that fateful night when armed soldiers stormed our home, instilling fear in our hearts. At just 12 years old, I witnessed the brutality as they assaulted my father and dragged him away, leaving us in a pool of blood and uncertainty.

The following weeks were filled with anguish as we desperately searched for my father, fearing for his life. We eventually managed to escape the country as refugees, leaving behind everything we had. Arriving in the UK with nothing, we faced homelessness and struggled to rebuild our lives. We were fortunate to find refuge, but many others weren't as lucky.

Today, the children of Sierra Leone continue to suffer from the consequences of war and poverty. Illiteracy rates are alarmingly high, and underprivileged children are forced into unimaginable situations just to provide for their families. It breaks my heart to see their struggles.

Having overcome adversity through hard work, determination, and the unwavering support of my family, I am now in a position to give back. As a member of the Senior Leadership Team at a secondary school in the UK, I have dedicated myself to empowering young minds. But it's time to do more.

Together, with the power of NFTs, we can bring hope and a better future to these children and young people. Our mission is to "Bring children a better tomorrow today!" By leveraging the potential of non-fungible tokens, we aim to raise funds to build a web3 and children's center in Sierra Leone. This center will not only serve as a safe haven, but also as a web3 training facility, where we will teach kids and young people about the transformative power of web3 and blockchain technology.

Through education and sustainable practices, we will equip these children with the skills and knowledge they need to break free from the cycle of poverty. We believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive and fulfill their potential. By supporting our cause, you can be a part of their journey towards a brighter tomorrow.

Join us in making a difference. Help us bring hope, education, and empowerment to the children of Sierra Leone. Together, we can create lasting change and build a future where every child has the opportunity to succeed.
