RDSF Updates INTRODUCTION
TESTIMONY FROM A BENEFICIARY
The Rehoboth Dream Solid Foundation (RDSF) is an initiative of some like-minded people who have a common passion and burden to assist the less privileged students around them. These people, who had in the past offered financial and mentoring support to indigent young people in their individual capacities decided to reach out to other people via a formal channel in order to extend help to more people. The mission of the Foundation is to engage in charity activities that will enhance the economic well-being of the less privileged through educational support, mentorship, and skills acquisition. The Foundation is registered with the United Nations, Federal Ministry of Education, Federal Ministry of Budget and Planning, and other regulatory agencies in Nigeria. The Foundation was established in September 2009 and began operations in 2011. It has awarded scholarships to over 250 students in primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions. We do not just give a one-time financial support but continue to assist every of our beneficiaries financially until they complete a degree programme irrespective of their level of education at the time the scholarship was awarded. While many of our past beneficiaries have become breadwinners and are able to support others to achieve their dreams, others have ventured to acquire additional certifications at home and abroad. On the 5th of June 2023, the Foundation published it’s call for scholarship applications for the 2023/2024 academic session. This was to give indigent tertiary students across the country the opportunity to join the other 72 students currently benefiting from the programme. This opening lasted until the 5th of July and the screening process has commenced.
