The Brain Power Learning Hub

What is the Brain Power Learning Hub (BPH)

The Brain Power Learning Hub is the bedrock of the Mummy Marho’s Foundation where all our programs and projects are based upon, it also provides a safe, loving and nurturing environment where our beneficiaries have access to the facility to learn, eat, play and be refreshed; a place where they can be themselves without being judged. The BPH has many fuctions under it, they include:

The Brain Power Alternative-Style Education, this is a new initiative designed for street-smart children who have little or no time for a formal educational system. This program has a life span of 2 - 5 years, where the child or youth learns reading, writing, digital skills, moral vlaues and etiquette. The child after completing this program, is enrolled into the enterprenuership and skills acquisition program.

We achieve this through our S-Model, which are:

  • Streets
  • Safe Space
  • Skills
  • Stability

Our inclusive mentorship, coaching, and psychosocial technology-driven initiative is designed to equip the marginalized children, teenagers and youth ages 5–25, who have gone through our S-model to achieve life-changing digital, financial, and entrepreneurial skills, to reduce youth unemployment, educational exclusion, and vulnerability to poverty, abuse, and exploitation.

This holistic, scalable project creates a pipeline of empowered, skilled DAUCTAYs who can contribute meaningfully to their communities, transform their economic prospects, and serve as changemakers across Nigeria and beyond.

Our DAUCTAY Mission:

Our DAUCTAY Mission drive is to eradicate the poverty mindset from the DAUCTAYs whose lives are affected by circumstances beyond their control and make them socially, academically, mentally, physically and economically prepared to be of value to the society.

 

How Our DAUCTAY Mission Started:

 

  1. Each year, there is an influx of DAUCTAYs between the ages of 5 – 25 brought into cities for menial jobs and/or sexual services, Lagos State is no different. It is actually believed to be the dream of poverty-stricken families to have a child or youth reside in Lagos.
  2. When these young ones are brought to the city and meet with unimaginable expectations which affects their human rights and existence. Majority of them run away; giving room for increase of unaccompanied DAUCTAYs living in uncompleted buildings, patched sleep areas, under bridges and even on the streets.
  3. Due to becoming homeless, these young ones become prone to substance abuse, risky sexual activities or child labor. 
  4. There are also those who become DAUCTAYs due to parental neglect, physical and sexual abuse by family member, family instability caused by polygamy or parental death, peer pressure and/or influence.
  5. There are those who become DAUCTAYs due to unwanted teen-pregnancies that leave them helpless and homeless.
  6. The increase in DAUCTAYs is based on the lack of primary education. Majority of these young ones cannot read nor write.

 

DAUCTAYs without support or care are prone to early depression, mental illness, suicide and early death.

Our DAUCTAY Mission drive for each child, teen and youth to reach their full potential are:

Nurturing Environment

Our family-style shelter offers a welcoming and nurturing environment based on open expression,  respect, care, and support. Giving room to experience the joy of childhood.

Medical Intervention

Healthcare and hygiene packages are given to support our beneficiaries and free administered medical care. We also teach them good health and hygiene habits

Healthy Nutrition

Every beneficiary is fed healthy, nutritious and delicious meals  with drinking water at all times.

Education

All  interests, learning abilities, challenges and mental capacity are our priority. Our programs are enriched with technology and vocational trainings for sustainability.

Sense of Dignity

Every beneficiary has the right to be free to express their views, be mentally independent with right values to protect themselves from peer pressure and negative influence.

Spiritual Growth

Each beneficiary is provided the opportunity to study and grow spiritually for moral improvement.

Equal Opportunity

Each beneficiary has the same equal opportunity, irrespective of gender, religion, custom, tribe, language, economic status, and handicapping condition.

Protection

Each beneficiary is given the right to voice their concerns  that can harm or disrupt their existence in the community. We are equipped to report to the authorized government bodies when such issues arise.

How we keep them coming back?

Children and youths from the streets are very special and require extra care, attention and guidance. They need to be assured that they matter. Getting them enrolled can be difficult but getting them to keep returning requires:

Food

Our beneficiaries can count on 2 nutritious meals a day, 6 days a week. This great gesture is the bedrock for building trust with these DAUCTAYs in our Foundation. 

Medical Care

Our beneficiaries have access to free medical care either in our facility or at a clinic or hospital. Whatever the health issue, they are assured of help when they need it.

Clothing Upgrade

Due to the nature of rescue of most of these young ones, they are brought in with ragged, little or no clothing on them. This is also our major service that boost the confidence of our DAUCTAYs.

Shelter

At the Brain Power Hub, we have a welcoming space for relaxing, sleeping, doing their laundry, taking showers and watching TV (as these are amenities these children and youths lack).

Spirituality

“One cannot exist without living” is an adage that we tell our beneficiaries. We encourage spiritual development for mental sanity and wellness.
