Caring. Thinking. Working.

Do Sumthing Positive for Africa Project (DSPA) is a budding non-profit, non-governmental organization interested in youth service, development, public and community service. DSPA is trying to enlist the help of well meaning Nigerians in the UK and Nigeria to support our cause and pave a way for the youths. It seeks to achieve its objective by pooling the youthful energy, talent and skills of Nigeria youth, both in the Diaspora and at home towards national service and development.

DSPA aims to drive change through alliances (at home and in the Diaspora), which can assist many youths who are talented and intelligent, who have the potential to be leaders of tomorrow but are confronted by either a non-conducive or violent environment. Millions of children today are dying because of poverty, discrimination, conflict and sickness.

DSPA aims to participate in reach-out programs for value change and re-orientation, promoting and engaging in skills and knowledge transfer.

In June 2006, DSPA organized its first public presentation in Bristol, UK. Participants and guests were drawn amongst youth leaders and entrepreneurs. Six months later in Lagos, on 23rd December 2006, DSPA hosted a charity Christmas party for the disabled community! We did this to create awareness of the discrimination and neglect of the disabled community. Many disabled youths are talented. Supported by many, we hosted a successful fashion show and a fun talent show in which our disabled students participated. The fashion show featured a clothing line, designed by Steve Ray and Dakou Collection by Dakou.

DSPA currently hosts an online forum for its online African chapters such as Do Sumthing Positive Nigeria and Do Sumthing Positive Ghana where youths post their thoughts on African politics and where they share ideas with one another.

FixIt is an initiative of DSPA. FixIt is a brand focused on personal responsibility to our environment. When you come across a situation you don't like we urge that you find a way to solve it and don't wait for the Government.
