Dear Donors,
Firstly, we want to thank you for the journey so far, because without you we wouldn’t have been able to start. Every step is a step into securing the future of these children. We also want to thank our beneficiaries for their resilience in the face of adversity. The struggle to breathe and survive in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles and the courage to face the world, and the day is something that most of us cannot even fathom.
Our beneficiaries are orphans; out of school street children not by choice but by circumstance beyond their control. With no parents or guardian able to provide for them and guide them, education becomes an unattainable dream. Instead, they are faced with child labour, exploitation, abuse and the dangers that comes with living on the street, thus trapped in hopelessness.
Education is known to be a key to breaking the cycle of poverty, combat inequality and gives empowerment that allows us to reach our full potential, building confidence and giving back to society. That is why the UN stated that ‘education is not a privilege but a Human Right.
At Mordecai Care Foundation of Nigeria, we believe in INCLUSION and not EXCLUSION and we want to give every child under our care a chance to rise. Through scholarship, school incentives, provision of basic needs, and provision of learning materials, we are helping out of school street children and orphans return to school towards building a brighter future.
Our children, Zainab, Aminat, Ahmed, Tofunmi and David to mention a few are working hard day by day, step by step towards reaching for this future. They need your help to go beyond their present stage and MOCAFON needs your support. We can reach more children, provide more essential resources and restore hope in our children.
Please join hands with MOCAFON to ensure no child remains out of school in our community.
