Short Story
SUPPORT QUALITY LEARNING FOR RURAL KIDS
“Your gift builds futures through affordable education ”
“In rural Ikorodu, Lagos, many children are being left behind because quality education is too expensive. Our school was founded to change that — and with your support, we can keep dreams alive and give these kids the future they deserve.”
Our Story
My name is OyekunleJohnsonOpeyemi, and in September 2019, during the COVID-19 era, I started a small school in a rural area of Ikorodu, Lagos. What inspired me was the poor educational system in the community and the fact that many less privileged children could not afford to attend the big schools around.
Although I could not make the school completely free — because I needed to pay teachers, rent a space, and provide chairs, boards, and tables — I made the school fees very cheap and affordable so that poor families could still give their children a chance at quality education.
Today, our school has qualified graduate teachers, including myself, who are passionate about giving these children the future they deserve.
The Challenge
Right now, our school is struggling.
– The rent we pay for the building is draining our resources.
– Our facilities (chairs, tables, fans, and play materials) are old and inadequate.
– We want to raise the standard of the school without increasing fees, because our mission is to remain affordable for the poor.
Currently, our fees are:
– JSS 1–3: ₦22,500 per term
– SSS 1–3: ₦25,500 per term
These fees barely cover costs, and raising them would shut out the very children we want to help.
Our Vision
With your support, we want to:
– Buy land and build a modest but permanent school structure.
– Provide standard chairs, tables, and fans to make classrooms comfortable.
– Create a conducive learning environment with play materials for the students.
– Secure the future of affordable education for children in Ikorodu.
Our Goal
We are seeking to raise ₦30,000,000 (about $30,000–35,000 USD). This will allow us to:
– Acquire land
– Build a modest school facility
– Furnish classrooms with proper equipment
– Reduce the burden of rent and ensure sustainability
Why Your Help Matters
Every naira or dollar you give will directly impact the lives of children who otherwise may never have access to quality education. By supporting us, you are:
– Investing in the future of Nigeria’s children
– Breaking the cycle of poverty through education
– Giving hope to families who can not afford expensive schools
How You Can Help
– Donate whatever you can — no amount is too small.
– Share our campaign with friends, family, and social media.
– Stand with us in making education accessible to the less privileged.
Closing Note
We believe that education is the key to breaking poverty, and with your help, we can keep our doors open and raise the standard of learning for children in Ikorodu.
Thank you for being part of this mission. Together, we can change lives.
