To establish a community school with standard facilities to accommodate children from all backgrounds; with an aim of maintaining a special pool of resources to keep all the less privileged children in school throughout the year. It is so painful to see only few children smoothly continuing with their education while a big number who come from poor backgrounds are always on the road going back to look for school fee, which they hardly get from parents who cannot even a afford a decent meal in a day. Our centre's mission is to stop that kind of imbalance by establishing a system that financially cushions children from poor backgrounds and families and keep them in school at all times, providing education, food, clothing and health care, which are essential in every valued life. Bringing the whole world to the concept of global parenthood; we can be in two separate worlds but still stand as one global community with regard to the value for human life, education, good health and shared privileges. Bringing the community together and encouraging a generalized contribution towards raising a generation that sees not the limits of "class" but visualizes and realizes the potentiality of interdependence. Ensuring that there is, besides education, decent food, clothing and access to medical services to as many children and families as possible and especially those who have almost a zero chance of enjoying such essentials.

The Women Inspiration Development Center (WIDC) is an initiative designed to create a safe place for Nigerian women and girls in challenging life circumstances to envision and create new possibilities for their lives, families and communities. WIDC is committed to advancing women's right and creating a refuge for victims of gender based violence and disenfranchised women and girls. Through agency-based empowerment, WIDC supports these women and girls as they improve their health, economic well-being and social status, leading fulfilling lives free of violence. We believe in the inherent potential and ability of every woman to overcome obstacles, take control of her life, emerge confident and strong, and make meaningful contributions to her society. WIDC was formed in 2009 by Busayo Obisakin along with a group of women friends and colleagues. Initially they called themselves Vigilantes against Violence and set out to curb the violence against women and girls through a variety of services and activities they offered throughout the local community. After a short while, it became clear that the name needed to change to reflect the widening scope of the work done by the group to help protect and improve the lives of women in the community. The group officially became registered as an organization, Women Inspiration Development Center, in 2010. Mission: To improve the health, economic, and social status of Nigerian women and girls in order to empower them to lead fulfilling lives free of violence. Vision: We envision a Nigeria where women and girls are empowered and they create new possibilities for themselves without fear or intimidation.
