Although the quarantine period is being extended in our country after 13 months without reaching our target groups in person we have not stopped our program delivery to reach students working at home. For many non expected reasons the process has taken more time and efforts than we supposed it was going to. Although we now count with various programs covering the financial education and entrepreneurship contents included in this project only between 10 and 12% of our students count on an intelligent phone or laptop to receive these precious contents. The internet infrastructure in ouru country does not help to this. Is the weakest and less efficient IT structure before Nigeria all over the world.
For the sake of a better education for our young population, we urgently need to reach other groups of youngsters extending the benefit of these contents to more students so we have established additional alliances with a network of public or subsidied schools in order to reach new beneficiaries. We are ready to continue with programs implementation for other groups after the Holy week, to begin a new cohort during the third school quarter. This action would let us advance with other minorities extending the impact to distant areas of the country.
To accompllish this goal we are ready with the necessary volunteers prepared to continue our impact on these vulnerable youngsters providing results for our next report. Having counted on our benefactors continuous support with the previous cohorts on these regard allowed us to continue operating. Remaining active against all odds has not been an easy task, but we are proud of delivering results along 2020 and during this first quarter of 2021.
We sincerely present our enormeous gratitude to our benefactors for providing the necessary donations that allow us to operate with faith on our purpose along 2021.
