KEEP THEM IN SCHOOL INITIATIVE
Overview
The "Keep Them in School" initiative is a compassionate and proactive response to the alarming rate of out-of-school children in Nigeria.
Led by the Prophetess Bosede Adimabua Foundation, this initiative is dedicated to ensuring that every child, regardless of their socio-economic background, has the opportunity to receive a quality education.
The Problem
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children in the world.
Recent statistics reveal that approximately 18.5 million children in Nigeria are not receiving formal education, with girls and children from rural areas being the most affected.
The reasons for this are varied and complex, including poverty, cultural norms, and inadequate access to educational resources. These factors create a significant barrier to education, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and limiting opportunities for these children.
Our Approach
- Scholarships and Financial Assistance:Providing scholarships and financial support to cover tuition fees, uniforms, and school supplies.
- Community Engagement and Advocacy:Raising awareness about the importance of education within communities, particularly in rural areas, through targeted campaigns and advocacy.
- Partnerships with Local Schools: Collaborating with local schools to identify children at risk of dropping out and implementing early intervention strategies.
