Our StoryDestination of Hope Africa is a Christian non-profit organization created out of the passion of three friends. As physicians and aspiring physicians, our connection stemmed from our love of children and our keen awareness of the global health issues plaguing countries in Africa. In surveying the devastation, we saw the negative impact that poverty, the lack of healthcare access, and the poor management of health and hygiene supplies had on the economy of our home country. With continuous research, we found that the orphan population was one of the most heavily neglected and helpless populations not only in our home country of Nigeria, but in Africa as a whole.
In seeing the vivid effects of this mismanagement, we felt the urgent need to make a move that could potentially cause a major shift for good on behalf of the ones with no voice; the orphans. It became clear that in order to impact these lives, we needed to devise a systematic plan that would touch, protect and cultivate different areas of these beautiful children's lives. Knowing that we could not solve all the problems on our own and that there was no immediate solution to the endemic state of negligence in the communities, we decided to form a non-profit organization that would aim to be not only a voice, but also support for the orphaned sect of our country. |
Our longing to make an impact led us to the formation of Destination of Hope Africa (DHA). Our vision is to serve to provide programs that nurture an excellent and caring atmosphere of development for orphaned children. We aim to afford them the ability to transition out of the orphanage and enable them to positively impact their communities all while attaining a life of fulfillment and success, Our mission is to create a well managed education fund, that not only empowers the children by allowing them to pay school fees, but also encourages them to acquire skills by assisting to set up sustainable training and skill acquisition programs. We aim to also provide support in other areas such as in preventative medicine and in spiritual and emotional health. We find this to be necessary for these less privileged children to gain a quality of life that allows them to have equal opportunities and the ability to compete with more privileged children in every area of the human endeavor.
Our strategy is to gather financial support and physical help from likeminded public service conscious people like you. Your help will allow DHA to set up programming in Education, Mentorship, Healthcare and Supplies. By identifying the aforementioned areas of need and continuing to work to sustain and create more sustainable programs that will benefit the orphan population, we can create a Destination of Hope for these hopeful children. With our knowledge of orphanages in Nigeria, the locations of Enugu (in Enugu state of Nigeria) and Abuja (the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)) were chosen as our first target areas with the intentions of diversifying to other parts of the country and continent in the near future. Join us in creating hope today. |
