Community Connection In Action: EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES

We believe in the power of Elementary School Education. And while we await the resuscitation of the public school system in Nigeria, we are working to provide quality education to a few children from low-income communities.

With our sponsors’ help, we partnered with Talent Mine Academy Nigeria to provide a 12-year fully funded education to our first two select children, effective the First Term of 2021. And we hope to do more in the coming years. These students have never been to school before and we believe this intervention will provide long-term benefits to them and their communities.
