Why Your Support Makes A Difference

20 Million Nigerian Children Out-Of-School

Where a child is born should never limit their chance to dream, learn and rise. But according to UNICEF, over 20 million Nigerian children are currently Out-Of-School!

They wake up each morning without access to school.

Some hawk on the streets.

Others sell in the market

While many stay home – waiting for a chance that never comes.

Behind every statistic is a story.

Behind every story is a dream deferred.

Together, we can change that story for 100 children and give them the gift of education.

Your generosity will make a great difference.
