WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
This charity was set up for the educational advancement of the Nigerian child. In the few years of our existence we have come to discover areas of need in the educational sector. We desire to contribute our quota thus bringing about a positive change in the lives of both students and teachers.
What we have discovered so far:
School Library: The needs of government schools in this area are diverse. Some schools have no library, some have but with a few books and no reading programme in place to revive the culture of reading.
Playground equipment: Most students in primary schools do not have access to recreational facilities as is the case in private schools.
School uniforms: A good number of children have only one set of uniform and in some cases this uniform is not presentable.
Teacher Empowerment: Primary school teachers in some public and private schools in Nigeria require capacity building to improve delivery in the classroom. Teacher training is an annual programmme and the testimonies are endless.
Although research shows that 93 percent of schools have libraries, these are empty or even if stocked, the books are obsolete, making such libraries outdated.
In 2015, Seedtime Foundation set up a school library at Ajegunle Primary School, Agege in Lagos State, Nigeria. This is in addition to weekly reading clubs in five different locations to boost reading. Three more primary school libraries are underway in 2018, with more plans to build and equip many more in future. In order to strike a balance between intellectual acquisition through reading and child wellbeing, we also plan to install playground equipment in three public primary schools in 2018.
In 2017, the organization donated a hundred school uniforms to students in public schools with a plan to raise the figure to at least two hundred and fifty uniforms for 250 children in 2018.
In order to achieve these plans, we invite you to come on board as your financial donations will make a huge difference.
