This project will provide access to quality education, school materials and care to 1000 out of school and under privileged children from the most vulnerable communities across Nigeria, and also provide mentoring program and general support services to the children, especially the girl child.

These sad realities pose a great threat to the future and progress of Nigeria. This project will affect 1000 of the most vulnerable children with access to quality education.
