Our DAUCTAY Mission
To be a Safety, Nurturing, Healing, Housing, Learning and Opportunity Hub for the Disadvantaged and Underprivileged Children, Teenagers and Youth (DAUCTAY). This is our DAUCTAY Mission Drive.
All children have the same fundamental rights (According to the UN on the Rights of the Child), from 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.

Deserves to play and enjoy their childhood without hindrances.
Has the right to be heard and make right decisions.
Deserves to be, listened to, educated, and cared for.

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 26th became our yearly event for the communities within the 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 facility for the DAUCTAY'S between the ages of 5-21 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 12noon – 3pm. 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 walks into the facility.
We provide free daily nutritious breakfast and lunch, take-home dinner food packs with drinking water, medical interventions, basic necessities like giving donated clothes, 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 that is rescued or comes to our facility, are welcomed despite 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 follows:
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 5. Girls are Not For Sale
Within the communities of operation, there is a vast increase due to poverty that boys are sent to school and girls are either sold as young brides or used to get monies for the family either as a maid or as a slave in whatever form that suits the family. Due to these types of arrangements a lot of these young girls have lost their lives. This major SDG is dear to our heart and is one of the most important part of our Foundation. Families and guardians are not left out but are tutored about the importance of the girl-child education and how they have equal rights as boys.
So far, we have been able to save 15 girls from early marriage and girl-child labor. There are still more girls to enroll into our program.
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.
SDG 17. Sustainable Partnerships
To strengthen the implementation of the global partnerships for a sustainable development within our communities has given our Foundation a strong base to partner with other Foundations in the technology field to introduce our beneficiaries to the world of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and also the world of Robotics.
Reduction in DAUCTAY's roaming the streets of Okeira Nla.
Reduction in teenage pregnancies and gang-hood in the community.
