About

Reawakening 6th edition

The Educator is a registered NGO, with the vision to empower women and youths to become productive and relevant citizens, while promoting good family values. The Educator for several years ran the Reawakening Dance for Purity Program as an intervention and a tool under our Youth Outreach arm to reach out to young people and bring them together to accomplish our goal and vision. The bigger goal is to curb social vices like cybercrime, drug use, and porn use among young people by focusing their attention on their gifts and talents.

The theme for this year’s Reawakening is – “A HEART OF PURITY”.
