Radical Emancipation And Leadership Development Club (REAL DC)

The Radical Emancipation and Leadership Development Club (REAL DC), in a nutshell, focuses on targeting men and boys, victims of violence, school drop-outs, unemployed youth, as well as children. We engage in the following activities:

1. Creating a space for psychosocial support to foster a positive identity, provide space for healing, address the survivors of sexual exploitation, and tackle the high rate of suicide attempts in the community. This is achieved through:
   - Support groups that later transition into clubs for discussing ideas and finding solutions to local concerns.
   - Social evenings and local events (e.g., karaoke, game nights) planned and hosted by the target groups, creating strong bonds.
2. Creating opportunities for capacity development to equip ourselves for daily life challenges and develop leadership skills.
3. Utilizing the skills of transformed youth in Community Improvement projects and leading discussions of national concern at grassroots levels. This involves raising awareness and supporting schools through art and creative talent. We also run childcare programs, including soup kitchens, fundays, and homework classes. Additionally, we conduct research, community dialogues, and suicide awareness training, among many other initiatives.
