In one of Slum2School’s adopted schools within the Makoko community which is being developed to become a model public primary school both in the quality of education and infrastructure, on the 27th of October, 2018, Slum2School launched its Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) where over 1000 children and youth between the ages of 9 years and 24 years will learn how to set up small businesses and also learn skills to become professionals.

Speaking at the commissioning, the founder of Slum2Shcool, Mr. Orondaam Otto mentioned that the project was funded by Slum2School volunteers and it will be managed by well trained staff. The centre is a facility containing different sections and machinery. It consists of sewing machines, kitchen equipment, shoe making tools, bead and bag making machines, hair dressing and make up kits e.t.c

Slum2School believes that this will go a long way to improve their mental abilities and teach them the requisite skills required for future relevance in life.

2019 is one to look forward to as Slum2School plans to scale into several new communities and states across Nigeria and Africa and volunteers and partners are welcome to be part of this impact.
