Provide 150 kids School Supplies in Benin City, NG

EBONYIDA FOUNDATION REPORT FOR THE NEXT IMPLEMETATION OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES PROGRAM FOR 500 PUPILS IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS WILL BE HELD THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR IN OCTOBER OF 2022.

EbonyIda Foundation has worked towards creating opportunities for children, youth and women to have benefit in the realm of education and programs of economic empowerment through our program initiatives. A quality basic education gives children and youth the knowledge and skills they need to face daily life challenges, and take advantage of economic and lifelong learning opportunities. It is also a key driver for reducing poverty, fostering economic growth, achieving gender equality, and social development.

 We have been able to  deliver  on the goals by implementing programs geared towards meeting the needs of less privileged kids with school supplies to one hundred and ninety-five (195) less privilege children in 2021. We also opened an  acquisition center for Youth in Edo state Nigeria. The school supplies which include Uniforms, Shoes and writing materials were provided to less privilege pupils who cannot afford them and skill acquisition Centre where selected youths can acquire fashion design skills was established.

 MODE OF BENEFITIARY SELECTION

 Selection of beneficiaries was done by working with the head of schools (Head Mistress/Head Master) who are acquainted with every pupil and their pre-existing constraints to basic school supplies and confirmed by EbonyIda Foundation project manager. Once the names of the pupils are gotten, EbonyIda foundation’s staff interviewed the selected pupils to ascertain their poverty score and determine if they are best fit for the benefits. Visit were made to selected pupil’s parents in a bid to ascertain poverty level. Setup of the skill acquisition center was done and basic infrastructures needed such as industrial sewing machines were purchased to make it ready for skill acquisition programs to be held next year.

 EVENT TIMELINE

 The project  preparations starts in  January 2022. Date for events and items presentation to selected pupils follows after the  approval letter is  obtained from the public school heads/government body (State Universal Basic Education Board-SUBEB).
