| Organization Description: | |
| DAWN OF LIFE FOUNDATION (DOLF) is a private, non-government, not-for-profit organisation that employs participatory development processes to help people overcome poverty and develop the capacity to create a new future for themselves and their communities. We work with communities to strengthen their efforts towards their development thereby fighting poverty in a sustainable manner. Also, we provide responsible and strategic platforms for donors and charitable people to help the poor live a better life. We focus on equipping people with the skills, resources, knowledge and appropriate values and attitudes to act and manage their own development and improve quality of their lives. Priority is given to women, youth and environment. DOLF started in August, 2003. Since then it has been consolidating its programs to reflect our commitment to global development goals and conventions. We have facilitated several community–led development projects (funded by European Union MPP6, GFATM as Sub sub recipients, NAPEP, etc.). TB is deadly and the population mostly infected is the productive age group (18 - 35). It is therefore pertinent to fight TB to reduce its socio-economic impact on the people. Presently, we are registered with the National TB Network in Nigeria, being the lead organisation in Rivers State, with our E?D being the Focal person for TB in Ricers State. We have undertaken some funded ACSM activities in Rivers State.We particiapted in GFATM Round 5 ACSM in Nigeria. |
