TRAIN A PRISONER, MAKE THE SOCIETY SAFER AND BETTER!
Nigeria is believed to be the giant of Africa with a population of more than 170 million people and blessed with so much natural resources, that is underutilized, and so still backward in terms of development as a nation.
Unemployment bite's deep. Experts have said the unemployment rate in
Nigeria is like a time bomb waiting to explode. Obviously, prevailing
situation indicate it has perhaps detonated.
A larger percentage of youth and college graduate roams the street
searching for scarcely available white collar job. Most of these youths
embrace crime and the end result is prison; incarceration of their
genuine potentials.
The prison situation in Nigeria is yet to conform to Human Right
Standard for prisons across the globe which stipulate educational
training be given to inmates in prisons as way of rehabilitating them
fit for re-integration.
Dream Again Prison and Youth Foundation bridges the gap of educating
and rehabilitating inmates in the quest to actualizing her vision of
transforming prisons in Nigeria from an institute of punishment to an
academy of positive change.
In pursuit of our vision, the first library in Otukpo prison, Beneu
State, was institute to kick start the mission to providing prisoners
through out Nigeria's prisons and beyond the opportunity to learn and
the chance to grow, so they can embrace their experiences and use them
as springboard into a new life.
Our training runs in three progressive educational stages namely
> Pre-Vocational
> Vocational and
> Employ-ability
Our curriculum includes:
> Public speaking
> Debate
> Team work
> Recreation
> and more
This curriculum is dynamic to provide inmates with tailored training to
carter for individual peculiar challenges so that they can be able to
effectively use their stories to inspire other youths.
Our goal is to work and walk through prisons in Nigeria and hear
inmates talk with their shoulders high of their dreams and the positive
change they are determined to contribute to the society, upon release.
Our believes is, "train a prisoner, make the society safer and better".
