WAVECREST STUDY CENTRE
Improving academics and enriching the lives of young women
Wavecrest Study Centre helps young women who live in the suburban area of Lagos State. The Study Centre challenges these women to manage their time for academic pursuits well and excel in school. The Centre organizes clubs which provide junior and secondary school girls with well-rounded formation, helping them to achieve their academic potential and build self-confidence.
These clubs offer academic classes in study techniques, public speaking and effective writing. Practical classes also include home management, cooking and baking, music and arts and crafts. Students receive individual attention as they progress through tutoring and mentoring programs. The clubs also carry out community service projects, which cater to underprivileged children and those with special needs. These projects develop leadership and team building skills and encourage the students to grow in the virtues of compassion, magnanimity and generosity.
Wavecrest is constructing a new building to house the clubs with ample space and facilitate its classes and activities. Your donation will help with this enormous project!
Testimony
Judith Ayemere attended the club activities at Wavecrest Study Centre.
“I remember how I used to look forward to the activities of the club every Tuesday evening. I loved the serenity of the environment, which was beautifully designed with potted plants and well-kept furniture. What awed me the most was the maintenance culture of Wavecrest Study Centre. The furniture though they have been in use for ages still looked new. This maintenance culture I have tried to inculcate in my life; and not just me alone but all the club girls who came to the Centre.
At times in my life when I was in compromising situations and had to make life-changing decisions, the teachings and values I acquired from Wavecrest came to the fore. I was taught to live an ordered life, with a plan for everything be it career, social or spiritual. I still struggle with being that person I was formed to be, but that is what makes me human. The moment we stop struggling with our challenges and give in to weakness and failure then we stop living because life is a continuous struggle.
It's worth mentioning that Wavecrest didn't just form me but made me a role model to my peers and those around me. The values Wavecrest gives to teenage girls is one that cannot be quantified. “Raise up a child in the way she should grow and when she does she will not depart from it”. This is what Wavecrest Study Centre did for me. It picks you up at a time when you are struggling with contemporary challenges and doesn't force its ways on you but gently guides you on the right path.”
