When we noticed how the local school in Abuja was falling apart, we got to work. Nigerian public schools are poorly funded and often lack basic educational supplies. At the local primary school in Lugbe Village, Abuja, paint was peeling, the ceiling was cracked, and the bathrooms were in disrepair. We partnered with EMI Systems to launch a construction project that would rescue a school on the brink of collapse, saving kids from falling into the streets.

• 6 new classrooms were constructed and full furnished

• School supplies provided for students and teachers

• The grand opening celebration increased the community’s positive engagement

• Student enrollment tripled after construction finished
