ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Nenpan Monday Zakka is a community mobilizer, a youth activist, and a creative writer with published works. She is harnessing her skills and youthful brawn for humanitarian activities, which are greatly easing the burden of human existence in her society and promoting peaceful coexistence.
A country young woman, she hails from a small community called Gwabi Kor of Pankshin Local Government Area, Plateau State of Nigeria. Nenpan has been an instrument of great social change in her society.
As a little girl she would reach out in whatever small and practical ways to the disadvantaged around her. Developing an acute sensitivity to her African community, Nenpan would organize other children in her neigbourhood to rehearse and present play-lets and dramas in her local church. The plays all had the themes of the plights of orphans. The making of a girl who was later to intervene and bring succour to many in her society began.
Services

LIBRARY
The club runs a library that is open to the public. Some club members donated books from their personal collections to the library. Some senior friends of the club also donated some books. The club buys books for the library as well. Two National
OUTREACH
The club believes that every community needs a City of Refuge, where the disadvantaged can find help. In this vein the club is open to any community that is willing to have a City of Refuge outreach. Where ever there is a secondary school, the club can start a City of Refuge Special School. The very teachers in the secondary school can be asked to give an hour or two in a week for voluntary teaching, after their normal working hours, to help educate the less privileged. In this way the disadvantaged of our society will be delivered from the shackle of ignorance and its attending oppressions – Creating a sustainable future for the world.
DONATIONS
Youth Service Corps of Batch B 2008/2009 donated two book shelves and some books to the school. The club encourages people in the community to donate books to the library; even old books from their personal library are welcome. The names of families or people that donate books are inscribed boldly on the books, there by immortalizing donors. This has served as a source of inspiration for others to contribute towards community development.
