Build the Future: Lekki Community Centre for Youth, Sports & Shelter

Story

Help Us Build a Safer, Healthier, and Brighter Future for Youth in Africa.

What if one safe place could keep 10,000 kids off the streets every year, provide housing for orphans, empower young athletes, and spark the next generation of innovators?

The Lekki Community Centre is that dream—and with your support, it becomes a reality.
We’re building a 10-acre self-sustaining community centre in Lekki, Lagos to address some of Africa’s most pressing issues:
✅ Youth unemployment
✅ Crime
✅ Homelessness
✅ Lack of access to education and healthcare
✅ Underfunded sports and innovation programs

This facility will include:
· 🏀 Basketball & Football Pitches
· 🏊 Swimming Pool & Training
· 🏫 Life Skills & Tech Academy
· 🏠 Dormitories for Orphans and Homeless
· 🏥 A Wellness & First Aid Clinic
· 🛏️ Guest House for Volunteers and Staff
· 💧 Clean Water, Solar Power & Security

Miscellaneous/Legal/Permit Fees Title, documentation, government permits, 10% buffer $350,000
