Our story
What we Do
Our Primary Causes
Our work revolves around several key causes, all underpinned by our overarching mission to provide children with access to quality education. Each cause reflects a crucial aspect of education and contributes significantly to our efforts to bridge the education gap.
Student Support Initiatives
Our student-centric initiatives aim to provide direct support to children. This includes offering scholarships to economically disadvantaged children, ensuring every child can access education. Additionally, we supply essential learning resources to enhance students’ academic experience and enable them to succeed.
Educational Infrastructure and Development
Our efforts include improving school infrastructure to foster conducive learning spaces and investing in teacher development to ensure effective instruction. We also foster international learning collaborations, exposing students to diverse ideas and experiences, enriching their educational journey.
Scholarship Project
For the 2023/2024 academic year, we have provided sixty-two (62) indigent Nigerian children with full scholarships to attend school.
School Supplies Drive
Yearly, we coordinate back-to-school supplies drives. In August 2023, we participated as a vendor at the East Baton Rouge back-to-school bash; we distributed school supplies to students.
School Infrastructure Project
School furniture will be provided for Royal Kids Foundation School, Enugu State, Nigeria
