She dreams of caring for the real 'hard to reach' in society; 'Hard to reach' - because they are invisible due to years of subjugation and oppression by significant people in their lives.
In her quest to give the voiceless a voice, she established Domestic and Sexual Abuse Counselling Services (DASAC) in November 2010. DASAC’s primary purpose is to provide a therapeutic support service for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.
DASAC is one of few organisations in UK supporting women who have no recourse to public funds, and fleeing from domestic violence.
A lot of the success of DASAC is down to the 'Can Do' attitude of its Founder who is ever willing to roll up her sleeves and work to make things happen.
Olori Grace Alli-Tijani won a Mayor of London's Award in 2012 for outstanding contribution to improve London and the quality of life for Londoners.
