|Summary of the purposes of

governing document|Para 1.17|Martha’s Dream’s purpose is to provide
support to the vulnerable children in the
village of Ekenobizi (Abia State, Nigeria) by
providing the funding for an educational
facility, giving free access to education for
Primary School aged children in a
disadvantaged condition. These conditions
could be the lack of economic means to
access state education; a disability;
albino-ism that has made them an outcast
in the Nigerian social structure; accusations
of witchcraft; or any other condition that
hinders, or affects the child’s ability to gain
the full development of the human
personality and to the strengthening of
respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms.
At Martha’s Dream, we believe that it is a
fundamental human right to have access to
a high quality, free education, and this
remains the number one priority for the
charity.|

as a charity and has started providing
funds to Martha’s Dream Academy, the
educational facility in the village of

As a testament of the god work carried out
