In 2017 we built a low-cost nursery and primary school for children in our community here in edjeba via our foundation aiming to educate children from low-income backgrounds here in our community and beyond.
In line with SDG 4, we intend to give quality education to children in the most rural parts of Africa especially our home country Nigeria.
Our project is like a double project because we are renovating our current school, building another free school (in iyara community of warri south, delta state) in September 2021 and also building a free library for locals in our community here in Warri. Our project is located in the edjeba community 10km away from the city centre, a community clinic, and the nursing school the project is in the heart of the local community.
The library project and low-cost school renovation project. The school already educates 167 students from low-income families the project urgently needs books, school supplies, and volunteer teachers. Our future projection is to replicate these low-cost schools in the most rural parts of Africa.
Food, security by local policemen and accommodation will be provided and free for by our community women for your volunteer spirit, with no fee charged for your time and travel.
