Sponsor a Student in a village in Nigeria

We are greatful for every donation we received this past year, whether monthly and once off.  Your $15 means a child gets at least one cooked meal a day.  Your $120 covers full tuition and means an eager student can keep learning and working towards a brighter future.

We started the year with 190 students and ended with 230 because another school in the area closed down.  We did everything possible to accommodate these students, but it has put a significant strain on our resources.

While the students are on holiday, we are not.  We will continue to share the story of this special school and would be grateful if you could help spread the word by telling your friends.  Together we ca make the world a better place.

Here is a link to a short documentary on the school's history.  In June we did a viewing of the documentary at the school and invited a few guests along to see for them selves what a shining light this school really is. The pupils did a dance performance and demostrated science experiments they recently learnt about.

Hello and Happy New Year! 

We are very excited about 2024 and the students are back in school, ready to learn! Some exciting things have taken place...

The oldest teacher, Mr. Akintoye Jetro, retired in December after 22 years of dedication. He's the first teacher to ever retire from the school! We congratulate him and thank him for his years of teaching. 

One of our pending projects was to fix the school ceiling/roof and we were able to complete that project. Maintence of the facilities is an on-going feat and it's one of the many items we plan to complete for the school. Next is replacing the batteries for the Solar Panels. 

Another project that held our attention was purchasing new desks. Due to the current financial crisis in Nigeria, one of the area schools closed down and some of the students transfered to our school. Because of that, we needed more desks and quite a number of the current desks we had were broken. I'm happy to report some students are beginning the new year learning on new desks! 

Once again, we sincerely thank each and every one of you for all the support given to the school throughout the years. Here's to making 2024 a successful school year for the students!
