Problems surrounding Youth education and entrepreneurship are enormous. There are escalation of youth unemployment, many are into substance abuse, cultism, burglary, rape, kidnapping, touting internet fraud, prostitution, thuggery, human trafficking and quest to migrate to overseas to make quick money. Hence, JDPC is keen to enhance entrepreneurial skills of youths to become economically self-dependent.

Increased poverty, medical emergencies, hunger and loss of source livelihood are results of occasional fire outbreaks hence need to increase resilience to man and natural disaster.
In spite of Anambra being a commercial hub in Nigeria epileptic, power supply, extortion, touting, low excess to credit facilities, domestic violence, forced/early marriage, rape cases, internet fraud cases, etc. remain socio-economic problems in the states that support marginalization and impoverishment of the vulnerable. Hence, the need to improve the livelihood in the communities.

Hence, JDPC Onitsha is out to improve the well-being of OVC.
