Join DFTS to mark International Day of Charity by Volunteering & Supporting #SmartInSchool Project | Thursday, September 5th
Dreams from the Slum (DFTS) Empowerment Initiative, a community based non-profit is organizing her annual #SmartInSchool Project; designed to orientate people living in the slum on inclusiveness, support for children with dyslexia, limb loss and provide educational scholarships, educational materials for rural and out of school children in Ajegunle, so they can be smart in school in the new school session.
The event is in commemoration of the International Day of Charity; which is observed annually on September 5th. The prime purpose of the International Day of Charity is to raise awareness and provide a common platform for charity related activities all over the world for individuals, charitable, philanthropic and volunteer organizations for their own purposes on the local, national, regional and international level.
The outreach will host over 2,000 people (women and children) in Araromi community of Ajegunle where they will be sensitized on:
