Millennium Fellowship Project: Project School is Fun
With the current economic crunch that has gripped the country(Nigeria )coupled with high cost of living, many parents are finding it difficult to meet the educational needs of their children as another academic session begins.
This poses great threats to the academic performance of students as they are sent away from receiving classes and partaking in other school activities, children are also being flogged over their parents inability to pay their school fees.
In proffering solutions to the aforementioned problem, Our project provided funding for 10 pupils in public primary schools and provided them with basis’ educational materials like, sandals, books and pens/pencil..
The project was excuted in 2 public schools namely; PCN primary school and Special education center in Calabar, Nigeria.
