Dear Friends, Family and supporters of Serendipity,
Earlier this year, we adopted 20 vulnerable children from a community school we in Tofa Town in Tofa Local Governing Council in Kano. Our objective is to ensure these children continue with their education as they were dropouts and with your generous donations, they were able to return back to school as tution fees were paid, school bags given, school shoes, exercise books and writing materials.
Follow up on the first twenty for the last three terms showed the first 20 children had a lot of improvement in their lives and studies as they all scored an average of 60% a growth from 20% previously recorded. With this resounding success we added 20 more vulnerable children adopted and now we have 40 vulnerable children under our scholarship program to ensure our children get quality education and lead better lives.
Inflation is currently at 38% and thus things are becoming more difficult for our rural communites as poverty and hunger is on an all time high. And with research still conducted and the rate of out of school children has risen from 75% to now almost 100%. This is as a result of the cyrrent policies in place that is affecting the poor more because they can longer afford basic needs unlike before and only looking at how to survive instead of living.
Tuition fees were paid for one year for the 40 children, school uniforms, school shoes, school books, and school bags were distributed for the 40 children in Primary two, the new class they are in now. Updates about their progress in class will be posted after each term.
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 children to access education as when you teach a girl child a community is being built.
Thank you once again!!
