Ghetto Love Project

Ghetto Love Project A non-profit initiative of Vocal Slender which offer support/empowerment to children & youths of Ajegunle(the most populated slum in Lagos, Nigeria).

ADVOCACY|CHARITY|EMPOWERMENT. Email:[email protected] +234-803-7233498 The Ghetto Love project is a brainchild of the BBC "Welcome to Lagos" documentary star, VOCAL SLENDER, where he draws the attention of the public (locally & internationally) to the plight and sufferings of the Ghetto children & youth in Ajegunle slum in Lagos, Nigeria where the one-time scavenger was born & bred. The

sole aim of his initiative is to draw public attention to the plight and sufferings of the Ajegunle children and youths. This is achieved by collaborating with NGOs, Corporate bodies and individuals in offering scholarships, feeding, bringing medical aid, marking national holiday parties (such as Children’s day) & offering a music platform to perform for the numerous up and coming Ajegunle musicians to perform. The first Ghetto Love event held on 12th November 2011 on Oyegunle Street, Ajegunle where clothes & food were shared for the children that participated and subsequently two other editions were staged with improved incentives. On February 18th 2012, the 2nd edition was staged to celebrate Valentine day with Ajegunle children and youths. Items distributed include used clothes, toys & books. The children were fed while various up and coming artistes had a platform to perform to the audience. The high point of the Valentine ’s Day edition was the offering of scholarship to Gloria Peters, a 15 year old orphan who never went through primary school education but currently in JSS1 at Oshodi Grammar School. On May 27th 2012, the Children’s day edition (3rd edition) was held at 21, Lawani Street, Ajegunle, Olodi-Apapa, Lagos. We partnered with REAL VISIONARIES INITIATIVE, NIGERIA, a Non-governmental Organization that runs medical screening exercises in Nigeria. The group came with its team of medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists amongst other volunteers to offer free medical consultation, counselling and health talks to an average audience of 500 people (children, youth & adults). Free drugs were given to the participants. The impact of this edition was heartwarming as the people were full of praises as it was the period when all General hospitals in Lagos (including General Hospital, Ajeromi Ifelodun) were non-operational as the Lagos doctors were on strike. The next event will be announced subsequently. Are you interested in supporting the Ghetto Love project? Kindly send a mail to [email protected]

REPORT: CHILDREN’S DAY CELEBRATION AT EGUN COMMUNITY IN IWAYA, YABA IN LAGOS ON 29TH MAY 2014

Ghetto Love volunteers visited the Egun Community in Iwaya, Yaba Lagos on the 29th May 2014 to celebrate children’s day in a remarkable way that the children won’t forgot any time soon.

We had 286 children in attendance and they had the opportunity to express themselves in songs, drama, games, dancing competition, bouncy castle, face painting amongst other activities.

Some of our volunteers motivated the children with their childhood stories and challenged them to stay in school and learn so has to be enlightened.

The children went home with cooked food, drinks, exercise books, new clothes, games, school bags to mention but a few.

We sincerely appreciate our donors and volunteers for making this edition a huge success. God bless your purse always.

Our next event: “Back to School” holds on 6th September 2014 (Location to be announced later).

Once again, we say thank you for the support.

Ghetto Love Children's day update:
The less privileged children also deserve to enjoy the fun of the moment as the children of the elites. Bouncy Castle, face painting, kiddies games, motivational talks, drama, dance, candy floss, music, new clothes, used clothes, books are some of the goodies we are giving out.
The bulk of the children we will celebrating tomorrow doesn't understand English nor Yoruba. They are Egun settlers. It promises to be another impacting experience to show love in a place that truly deserve to be loved.
Join us by 11am.
Location: from Sabo Post Office, Yaba take a bike to Oko-Agbon busstop (Iwaya). Ask for the children day event holding in the neighborhood.
NB: Come with a covered boot or footwear (it's a marshy area).
