"Back To School " is a project of BEYOND THE CLASSROOM FOUNDATION, with the aim of changing lives and building the minds of the needy, even without boarders. They have embarked upon this project to address some negative effects of poverty on the education and lives of innocent and helpless young children in the country, by providing for their basic needs and thereby set their feet on the path towards achieving their various dreams and goals in life.

In Lagos for example, where school is year round, a law was passed a few years ago making primary education free. But even “free” doesn't allow all children to attend school because they aren't able to afford uniforms, books, and school supplies. Many families whose children are living in the slums of Lagos consider “free” primary education impossible.

Most of the poor children never attend school because they do not have the basic supplies that they need. The majority of children cannot afford to buy their own notebooks and as a result, classrooms often have fewer kids. Unlike some good school children, children in slums are enthusiastic about learning, even though they don’t eat everyday and some are malnourished.

Some children even have to stay at home to work and take care of their younger siblings rather than attend school. Despite hunger, disease and the likes, the children long for an education and remain enthusiastic about achieving one. Support the Back to School Project as we provide free school supplies to 500 children this term.

A ‘back to school’ pack for a child will cost us N500. This includes;
A pair of sandal, 2pairs of white socks, 5 exercise books and a pencil or pen with ruler or eraser and N1,500 which includes a school bag.

There are different ways to support this project;
1. Sponsor a child with at least N500 (Please do more if you can)
2. Volunteer and join the distribution team on the day of the event.
3. Share this message
4. Donate old or new story books, textbooks, school bags, socks, notebooks, etc

Please, support these poor children with the little you have and together let's make their dreams a reality and safe our society from resulting Social-vices, Thanks.

Beyond The Classroom... changing lives, building minds without boarders.
