We talk a lot about how broken the system of education is in Nigeria. Especially primary education.
From children who sit outside on the bare ground to learn, to those who can't go to school because of poverty, hunger, gender, no teachers, etc.

For some years now, Community Outreach for Educational Change @coec_ng has been tackling these issues in a couple of rural schools. Earlier this year, I shared the #FedtoLearn project with you, and through your generosity, we fed rural school children daily, so they could learn.

Now, we wish to do more. Our desire is to set up a school in a rural area to bridge the gap for these children. It'll be equipped with competent teachers, modern technology, a feeding program, library, sick bay etc, to deliver quality education in line with 21st century demands.

If you could make a difference in one child's life, would you? If your answer is yes, then here's your chance.

@coec_ng has gotten a rundown school building in a rural village in Kaduna. We hope to refurbish it and set up for when schools reopen. We call it #TheSchoolProject

Our structure needs refurbishing in order to meet our target for full operations in September. Below are the details of the project:

Location: Samaru Kataf, Kaduna State
Target Date: September 2020
Budget: N10, 000, 000
Amount Raised: N471, 500
Amount Needed: N9,528,500

In the past, your donations, large and small, have made huge differences in the lives of these kids by providing them with a better education. We look forward to partnering with you on this project.
