Education for Rural Community Children

Dear Donor,

Thank you for your understanding of the modification of this project. We have great news to share with you! You have improved learning for LEA Primary School Pupils by donating writing materials as well as Covid-19 prevention kits.

The pupils often lacked writing materials because their parents could not afford them. This was a big challenge to the teachers who could not give assignments nor track academic progress. Items donated included dozens of books, pencils, biros and erasers for each pupil. Alheri, one of the beneficiaries was happy to receive her books because she loved writing. The school management and staff were not left out as they received packs of board markers and biros.

JHF also held a sensitization meeting on Covid-19 for the pupils. Due to the remote location of the school, there was a gap in knowledge about the disease. None of the pupils understood what it was and how it could be prevented but a JHF health expert team member was able to educate the pupils on its meaning and prevention methods. We also went further to donate hygiene kits like soap, handwashing buckets, handwashing stands and precaution stickers to the school.

The pupils, school management, parents and community members who were in attendance were overjoyed. The parents testified that this project will ease the burden of purchasing writing materials on them. Mrs. Mercy, a parent said that she looked forward to having us do more for the pupils. The staff was also motivated to teach better as JHF’s visit made them realize that they were not forgotten. More importantly, they believed that the provision of writing materials will improve the writing ability of the pupils.

Thank you for your generous donations towards supporting education for rural community children. Please stay connected with us on our social media pages to learn more about upcoming events.
