At Lighthouse Noir, our mission is to power positive development in Desoto by supporting and sponsoring members of the black community to learn one or more tech skills. We have the right experience and expertise to set up Lighthouse Noir and start impacting people who are members of the black minority community in Desoto, Texas so they can get the right knowledge and tech skills to get jobs with d

ifferent companies that are operating in and outside the community. This means when anybody visits our website, they can find options that appeal to them which they are interested in learning. The organization requires the funding of $15,000 from investors to start operating. The management will use this to develop the organization structure, start advertising the tech trainings, initiating brand communication and customer relationship to serve the organization on a long term. Over the next few years, the organization will be growing its operations from Desoto to other major cities in the US where there is high concentration of black people in the middle to lower class.
