These young souls face challenges that many of us may never fully comprehend. However, it is through our collective effort, compassion, and generosity that we can make a lasting impact in their lives. Together, we have the power to provide educational opportunities, nurture their dreams, and offer a brighter future. We can bridge the gender gap, provide equal opportunities, and create a more inclusive society for all. As we embark on this journey, our founder Mrs. Stella Mofor encourages the Alatening people to come together as a community, as well as a family to extend helping hands to those in need.
