Today is the International Day of Families. We celebrate every family that provides children with the right environment to live and thrive against the odds. Such families are the nucleus of the society; the foundation of all that works in the society.
Families that work are a great delight to us @TheDestinyTrust . Our desire is to see every child grow within a family where they are protected; where their dreams are supported.
This is the goal of our Family Empowerment initiative which focuses on supporting the family's effort in overcoming poverty and instability.
We recognise that our society can only be as strong as the families. The family is the unit for building children who build the society. This is why we believe that the most strategic social investment for our country is to boost the earning capacity of the family;
... and by extension; the capability of the family to take care of its members especially children. .
With the growing number of homeless children in recent years, institutional interventions such as ours also look forward to more willing families committed to adopting and raising rehabilitated homeless children. Every child deserves a loving family.
Our #1000HelpingHands campaign takes off today! We are excited at the opportunity to make a difference together again; to educate, empower and meet the basic needs of street children where they need us the most #1000HelpingHands#LetsDoItAgain
#1000HelpingHands is how we invite you to partner with us in educating, empowering and providing care to homeless kids. Time after time, you reinforce our belief that ordinary people can make big impacts with little acts of kindness if they work together. #LetsDoItAgain
At the end of 2017 campaign, you and other good people collectively gave us a donation of N2,167,115 through #1000HelpingHands over the last one year. Although we didn’t meet our fundraising target, this is showing how important every donation is in changing lives. #LetsDoItAgain
Today,we launch a coding & innovation development centre,Kids Innovation Hub,to empower rehabilitated street children & young people from low-economic backgrounds with digital skills.We thank you our friends & partners for your support & faith in the children #CreatingTheFuture
Through the Kids Innovation Hub, we are giving underrepresented children the opportunity to participate in the new digital world.We know they would be left behind unless there are social initiatives deliberately aimed at giving them a chance. #CreatingTheFuture#KidsCode
As the ability to interpret information & solve problems using technology becomes one of the most valuable skills in the world of work,we believe our empowerment drive for the class of children we serve would be inadequate if it does not equip then with technology skills.
Yesterday, we admitted a new child into our home. It’s always an exciting moment when we receive a new family member. #NewBeginning#HopeForAChild#HopeRising
We celebrate every new child in the home because this marks a new beginning for the child. We open a new page for the child to write a self-story free from abuse, trauma, hunger and all that undermine a child's wellbeing and life fulfillment. #NewBeginning#HopeRising#Restart
For us, when we admit a new child, we get the opportunity to validate our belief that every child holds great promise if given just a chance. This is why we give them a hand to hold as they rise from the ruins of a turbulent childhood #NewBeginning#HopeRising
