MAKING A DIFFERENCE: THE DESTINY TRUST FOUNDATION ( Nurturing the child as a tree of righteousness)

Hi Guys!!!

I'm Introducing and celebrating my first group of world changers and earth shakers.

The Destiny Trust Foundation works through a group of young professionals who share a passion to make a real difference in the lives of the growing number of homeless children who roam around their work environment. Scores of homeless children who have fled home or have become orphaned live in various slums begging, hawking, smoking, drinking, doing illicit drugs and some young girls are used for commercial sex work.

The foundation has a specific social initiative aimed at addressing the needs of abused, neglected and homeless children through an integrated range of assistance which include provision of shelter, food, education, guidance, healthcare, mentoring, counselling and other child support services.

Their passion is to save the destiny of vulnerable children who would have no hope except for this coordinated intervention. By bringing hope into their world, we can make our world a safe place to live in. These children are not asking for too much. They only want a bit of the basic necessities that will tip them in the right direction in life – a safe place to lay their heads at night, food, education, and the opportunity to grow in an atmosphere of love, acceptance and guidance. With continuing exposure to the inhuman living condition and lifestyle on the street, these homeless children are losing their humanity and may well be the next disaster if they are not rescued.

The success of their intervention lies in the story of lives that have been transformed from the destitution of life on the beach front. Through this initiative, the trust is rehabilitating some of these children and has relocated children from the streets. The Trust provides for the continuing care, education, shelter, guidance, counselling, mentoring and other child protective services to the resettled children in various domestic settings.

The Trust has established a residential learning and rehabilitation centre with focus on wholistic human development including character, literacy, creativity and civic responsibility. Street children can go through rehabilitation, integrate into the society, rediscover their role as citizens, explore their creativity and contribute to the task of nation building.

IMPRESSIVE RIGHT??
