The Brain Power Hub

What is the Brain Power Hub (BPH)

BPH is the bedrock of the Mummy Marho’s Foundation where all our programs are based upon and it provides a safe, loving and nurturing environment where our beneficiaries have access to the facility to learn, eat, play and be refreshed. It is also a place where they can be themselves without being judged.

Our DAUCTAY Mission

Our DAUCTAY Mission is to eradicate the poverty mindset from the underprivileged and disadvantaged children, teenagers and youths whose lives are affected by circumstances beyond their control to make them socially, academically, mentally, physically and economically prepared to be valuable to the society.

 

How Our DAUCTAY Mission Started:

 

  1. Each year, there is an influx of children, teenagers and youths between the ages of 5 – 15 brought into cities for jobs and sexual services, Lagos State is no different and it is actually the dream of poverty-stricken families to have a child residing in Lagos.
  2. When these young ones meet with unimaginable expectations that affect their human rights, majority of them run away, giving room for increase of unaccompanied street children and youths 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, introduced as a means to protect their mental state from the risky sexual activities they are forced into, rape, gang bullying and beatings done on the young boys to keep them subdued.
  4. There are also those who become disadvantaged due to parental neglect, physical and sexual abuse, family instability caused by polygamy, parental death, peer pressure and/or influence.
  5. There are those who become disadvantaged due to unwanted teen-pregnancies that leave them helpless and homeless.
  6. The increase in disadvantaged children and youth is based on the lack of primary education. Majority of these young ones cannot read or write.

 Underprivileged and disadvantaged children and youth without support or care are prone to early depression, mental illness, suicide and early death.

Our DAUCTAY Mission 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.

Sense of Dignity

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 3 nutritious meals a day, 7 days a week. This great gesture is the bedrock for building trust with these beneficiaries at 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 beneficiaries.

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.
