Nest of Joy

Nest of Joy Nest of Joy is an Education and Rights advocacy organization for out of school children and young adults.

We purposely seek out the hidden, forgotten and ignored victims of circumstances and operate in areas where our resources are most beneficial. Main focus
Nest of Joy is primarily focused on dealing with the challenge of education in a country where school dropouts have never been higher than currently. There is an alarming and increasing rate of school dropouts as a result of Family, Community and School challenges with the principle cause being poverty. The challenges of unemployment, inequality and poverty are forcing many learners to drop out of school because their families are unable to pay their schools fees or sometimes for simple school requirements such as uniforms, shoes, books etc. The challenge of school dropouts is so significant that we see boys taking on a career of crime, and many getting locked in other social menaces that lead to total destruction while girls face early unplanned pregnancies and the high risk of HIV infection from those that take advantage of their vulnerabilities, a huge number of girls find work as housemaids/house helpers, usually earning no more than $15 a month and are often subjected to physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their employers or taken advantage of by random individuals. Our main focus is building equality across society in areas like

✓Education
By equipping school dropouts with technical skills and reintegrating those fit back into the mainstream education system. Our schooling programs assist these children to get critical skills and knowledge that they can apply in the general economy to enable them build an independent and sustainable livelihood.

✓ Community Outreach Programs
We do carry out community outreach programs with focus on Health care, Environmental protection, Access to technology and helping the needy, homeless and disabled in building an independent and sustainable living.

✓Rights advocacy
We advocate for the rights of women and children as well as offering legal representation to vulnerable sections of society like housemaids among others

What an incredible blessing and answer to prayer! ❤️🙏

Please join us in celebrating and thanking Bart Vandewalle and his amazing organization Kamutamba Bellem for their generous donation of 23 dummy heads! 🥳💪 Your kindness has brought renewed hope, excitement, and opportunity to our aspiring hairstylists.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to Rose Curl and her wonderful mom Nicola Curl for lovingly adding another 5 dummy heads to support our learners. ❤️

Because of your compassion and endless support, our students can now continue practicing, learning, and building the hands on skills they need to pursue their dreams with confidence. What once felt like a challenge has now become a beautiful reminder that a caring community can truly change lives.

Thank you for believing in our mission, investing in our students, and helping us bring the “hair” back to Hairdressing! ✂️✨
Your generosity will leave a lasting impact far beyond the classroom.

After 18 months of loyal service, Our hardworking training mannequin heads are officially asking for retirement.

After thousands of braids and styles, 19 of our 22 Dummy Heads have gone bald. This leaves a class of 40 aspiring stylists sharing only 3 usable heads. It’s hard to learn a craft without the tools to practice!

How You Can Help👇

We are looking to replace our kit so every student has the chance to shine.

Small Gift, Big Impact: Each new Head costs $19.
Any Amount Matters: A gift of 1, 5, or 10 heads would change everything.
Or
Donate any amount by clicking on the Donation button at our website: www.nestofjoy.org

Start a Movement: If you can help us set up or manage a GoFundMe, we’d love your expertise!

Your support ensures our learners don't just dream of a career in hairdressing they build the hands-on skills to achieve it.
Can you help us bring the "hair" back to Hairdressing?
Thank you for being part of our journey!
