We are all about Safe Space
Our DAUCTAYs Mission Drive is to be a Safety, Nurturing, Healing, Housing, Learning and Opportunity Hub for the Disadvantaged and Underprivileged Children, Teenagers and Youth (we call the DAUCTAYs).
All children have the same fundamental rights (According to the UN on the Rights of the Child), from having the right to proper nutrition, education, healthcare, safety and more regardless of their economic status. Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and social needs and support their development.
When a child receives these basic amenities, they thrive and with guided opportunity, they reach their full potential.
Mummy Marho’s Foundation, believes that every of our beneficiary:
Core Values
Integrity – Transparency and accountability in all operations.
Education & Growth – Prioritizing knowledge as a tool for empowerment.
Community Engagement – Building strong partnerships for collective impact.
Inclusion & Diversity – Ensuring equal opportunities for all beneficiaries.
Sustainability – Creating long-term solutions for economic and social empowerment.
Mummy Marho’s Foundation has been in existence since 2017 but got offically registered and launched in September of 2023.
The launching came with our flagship event on the 26th of December 2023. Where we fed, clothed and gave gifts to 600 plus children and teens for free. December 2024, we fed and gave gifts to 1,000 children, teens, youths and parents/guardians.
December 26th has become our yearly event for the communities within the Oke-Ira stretch and Ado, Ajah axis.
In October 2024, the Mummy Marho’s Foundation opened her door to the Okeira Nla community and birthed the Brain Power Hub.
The Brain Power Hub is a free safe space facility for the DAUCTAY'S between the ages of 5-25 years; who are either homeless or are living in unstable conditions.
The Brain Power Hub facility is opened Mondays to Saturdays between the hours of 7am – 5pm and on public holidays between 10am – 5pm. The Hub offers social and academic programs with counseling services to help develop a wholesome individual with stable mental state of mind for every young one that either gets rescued or walks into the facility.
We provide free daily nutritious breakfast and lunch with drinking water, weekend take-home dinner food packs, medical interventions, basic necessities like giving donated clothing items, toiletries, daily baths and TV time. The most IMPORTANT is ALWAYS being there for every young one that needs us.
At Mummy Marho’s Foundation, every young one is welcomed regardless of their physical appearance, speech and street-looking countenance. No matter how they come or how they are rescued, the important thing is to make sure that they are given the necessary amenities as:
To focus on our mission, we ensure to make the SDGs our guideline:
SDG 1. Life Skills
Provide entrepreneurship and life skills for economic sustainability and community development to the disadvantaged and vulnerable youths who have been neglected, they can be orphaned, homeless, at risk young mothers, young fathers and young parents and more, between the ages of 13 – 25 years.
SDG 2. Feeding
Food is a vital force in keeping the children and youths coming back to learn and improve themselves in our learning facility. Their families are not left out, as our feeding system has giving them enough during the week, to cater for their families during the weekends. We have 54 children, 25 youths that make up 35 families on our daily feeding list. We also have 85 families and 207 children, teens and youths on the waiting list.
SDG 3. Health Check and Medical Intervention
These young ones have been living in unpleasant and unhealthy circumstances and when they are brought into out Foundation, it is compulsory to carry out a health check to ascertain that they are mentally and physically fit to go on through the development process. Without being biased, those who don’t go past the health check are sent to other organization whose specialty is in the medical field.
SDG 4. Alternative-Style Education
At Mummy Marho’s Foundation, we found out that most of these street children do not have the patience to stay in a conventional school setting, this has led to a lot of them dropping out and returning to the streets; our survey and observations, birthed the Alternative-Style Education, which allows the beneficiaries school and work at the same day. We ensure that all beneficiaries have a dedicated tutor to ensure good behavior, social and academic performance.
SDG 6. Provision of Drinking Water, Toilet and Bathroom
Our beneficiaries have no access to free clean water which is a luxury, this is another major provision for healthy living. Majority have no bathrooms or toilets and as such have to use other means to empty their bowels and take a bath whenever they have raised enough funds to bathe. We ensure they are provided with drinking water and access to our bathrooms and toilets whenever they are in need. This has reduced skin diseases and body odors.
SDG 8. Work and Intern Opportunity
The power of opportunities through career counseling for mental and social stability is one of our strong point to keep the beneficiaries occupied without distractions. Our beneficiaries are kept off the streets by being placed with various hand skills experts for added benefits while they are on the verge to acquire their High School Diploma. This will also give them opportunities for job experience advantages, when they are in the market place.
SDG 16. Child’s Peace and Stability
Our main advocacy is the safety, welfare and stability of the street children and youths under our care. We become the voice that speaks against any harm that might come to them. We also provide decision making strategies and child protection classes, to the parent or guardian who are rendered helpless when confronted by perpetrators they don’t have the heart to face. In all, we make sure there is a peaceful resolution to any family who had collected funds in exchange for their young ones.
Reduction in DAUCTAY's roaming the streets of Okeira Nla.
Reduction in teenage pregnancies and gang-hood in the community.
Community awareness and involvement in achieving the DAUCTAYs mission.
