The Dora Club, named after the late Dr Dora Akunyili, was set-up to encourage, engage and empower young girls and boys in senior secondary schools with digital skills and leadership skills. The club engages students in extracurricular activities and serves as a platform to aid their self-development. DC currently have chapters in 10 schools and 1 community
WHY DORA CLUB (DC)?
Experience has shown that when young people are engaged and occupied from an early age, they tend to be productive and take responsibilities and lead roles in activities as they continue to grow. DC will open the mind of young persons to opportunities needed to achieve their goals and dreams, hence, creating a community of youths with great self-esteem and self-confidence. The club engages students in a wide range of tasks and activities which will encourage the younger generation to think outside the box, engage and interact in meaningful conversations. The club improves young people’s awareness of political, electoral and civic activities and duties in their communities, the country, and global sphere.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of the Dora Club is to provide students with the leadership and digital skills needed for self-sustenance and to also contribute meaningfully to their communities.
