Now, we all know that care does not stop after school- home life is a key factor in the development of kids.. Many of our girls have suffered homelessness and abuse from living in unsafe communities and have been survivors of Gender Based Violence (GBV) . To keep girls safe and cared for while they access education, we will be building a home for the girls.
Hence, we would love to raise the sum of $250,000 to help build and provide a home and welfare for indigent girls – along with free education.
We have purchased a plot of land in Ikorodu, Lagos – Nigeria and we are asking for donations to start building a home for these beautiful girls.
Our living space provides a safe and healthy place for our girls to grow and flourish. They have enough time to focus on their goals and education. We currently have 30 students in our program but there are many more girls out there in need of a home to live in. Once this building is completed – it will be a home to 100 homeless girls in Nigeria.
Once completed – The building will provide a home for 100 indigent and orphaned girls. They will have a place to lay their heads at night, and have a safe place to live in with their academy sisters.
Dream Catchers Academy has a clear theory of change:
To transform the lives of less privileged girls who have experienced homelessness, neglect, or economic hardship resulting in lack of educational attainment by giving them a chance through providing a home, quality education, arts education, welfare, arts and life skills.
