Keep a Girl in School In Northern Nigeria

Project Report | Aug 23, 2024
Against all Odds, there is hope

Dear Friends, Supporters and Family of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,

2023/2024 School Session is over and our children under scholarship will be moving to the next class which is Primary Two, this is all because of your kind donations.

There is a state of emergency on education declared by the Kano State government on the 8^th of June (Punch Newspapers – http://punchng.com ) This was declared because of the critical challenges plaguing the education sector in the state which is to mobilise resources, implement urgent reforms and focus on strategic interventions to rebuild educational infrastructure and necessary materials.

We all know of the current protest ongoing in Nigeria and Kano being the worst hit in turns of destruction and violence by the teeming youths which most of them have not been in the four walls of a classroom hence which the facility of critical thinking. This is because of vast poverty, hunger, lack of education, health and all other cross cutting issues hence resorting to violence, destruction and looting at any opportunity. There is hunger and poverty in the land and hence cannot be blamed totally for their actions because there is evidently no political will to change their lots.

We at Serendipity have come up with a strategy to start with baby steps with our adopted schools with a school feeding program as that is one of the major causes of children not attending school because they are too hungry to come to school, their parents cannot afford a nutritious meal for them, besides how can they learn when their tummy is rumbling? We want to ensure that this chosen set of school we have will make a difference and become critical thinkers with all the cross cutting issues in place. We want to implement this strategy by the coming session that starts in September, 2024.

We are continuously grateful for your continued support with us all through these years. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Pathway to progress: One step at a time

By Samirah Faruk | Project Leader

Our Girls in Class

Dear Friends, Supporters and Family of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,

Remember Musa? The young boy we shared his story about his school and how through your kind donations we were able to grant scholarships to 20 children? Here are updates on the progress of those 20 children out of which 10 of them are girls in Tofa Community School in Tofa Town, Tofa Local Government Area, Kano.

Tofa Community School was built by the community members based on the premise of having a school closer home as the next available school was more than 3KLM away from the community and the children are at risk of violence and the distance is too long for them to trek. The school started with 30 pupils in 2018 and today have grown organically to over 600 pupils.

The 20 children granted scholarships which comprised of 10 females and 10 males are orphans with one or both parents dead, their parents are too poor and displaced children had never seen inside the four walls of a school and with your kind donation are attending school for the first time.

They are two terms gone into the 2023/2024 school session and the results are remarkable coming from children who have never gone to school before. And thus we say a BIG THANK YOU for your generous donations to pay for scholarship on tuition fees and school uniforms, shoes and books for a school session year.

One of our expected outcomes is to see that our children especially the girls are educated to be change makers is gradually becoming a reality for these children and we hope to see them becoming someone of benefit to their community.

Best Regards,

Samirah Faruk

Scholarship for our children

By Adama Faruk | Project Coordinator 2

Hansau (Not real name) one of the students

Dear Friends, Family and supporters of Serendipity,

In our hope to see that none of our children are left behind especially our girls we have adopted another school, Tofa Community Nursery and Primary School, Tofa Town, Tofa Local Governing Council, Kano, Nigeria.

We conducted a research six months ago and we found out that the rate of out of school children has risen by 75%. This is because of the current policies by the current government especially on fuel subsidy removal that has led to inflation rate going up as high as 150%, basic cost of living has gone up thus most families especially in the rural communities are striving to survive instead of living thus the funds to send the children to school is used to buy food to eat.

Our journey took us to the school where with your kind donations we paid for tuition fees, school uniforms, school shoes, school books, school bags for 20 children, 10 females and 10 males for a full year from Primary One and hope with your continued support we would increase the number of children and pay for their tuition fees right up to completion to the last class. Updates on how the children are faring in their tuition will be posted to you

Our next goal is to include other areas of support to the school as there are cross cutting issues we intend to achieve to facilitate their learning experience.

We want to specifically thank you our donors especially our recurring donors for bringing a smile upon our girls and children to access education as when you teach a girl child a community is being built.

Thank you once again!!

Follow our stories on our social media handles and website to be updated as we go along with our girls story on Facebook/serenhealthcare, Instagram/serendipityHea1, Twitter/serendipityHea1 , our Channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDRnvrKLaHtBHbfxJ0m or our website on Https://www.serendipityhealthcare.org.in

Your faithfully,
