Summary Children living in informal settlements and slums tends to grow up fast, they become the informal solution to their families struggling to deal with daily problems involving infrastructure access and livelihoods. These children often has to take up roles such as watch over younger siblings, sick household members, and step into the role of productive contributors to help the household make ends meet. Most of the time they become hawkers or petty traders at a very tender age, saddled with these responsibilities, they often limit or forego their schooling, cutting short their future educational potential and the economic and social opportunities, as well as skills, that education affords. This vicious cycle of poverty is one of the biggest issues in development, and necessitates significant creativity to problem solving. What we have been able to achieve For over two years that we have been in existence we have witnessed an influx of children in our targeted group, we have successfully enrolled over 80 children in our current school located at Ipaja Ayobo slums in Lagos state We have been able to provide uniforms, books, lunch and care for these ones making them feel loved and not unfortunate to come from a poor home or drop outs. Our Aim Our major targets groups are children with disabilities, drop-out, orphans and vulnerable children from the slums of Ipaja Ayobo, Lagos. Challenges The root of the problem is large number of students in our school with poor infrastructure that has led to congestion and our inability to further enroll more pupils and few teaching staff, and a very poor infrastructure which leads to poor quality education. This has partly been an unintended consequence of …. success in increasing primary school enrollment. Also our school is ill equipped with learning materials. What We Need Rebuilding and expanding our classes so as to enable us bring in more children from these slums is one of our major priority also our team of volunteers with your support will be able to provide additional support to over-stretched teaching staff. This includes providing teaching assistance, distributing reading materials, individually supporting the children in most need through mentorship, and organizing extra-curricular activities such as sports, reading clubs, life skills mentoring. Long-term Impact With the continual success of this project more local children will be able to finish school with a high level of literacy and core skills to succeed in life. Helping them to shape their perspective about the society so that they can view it has one filled with possibilities and a society that calls for social responsibility with an opportunity to positively impacts several lives.
