The Shoprite Community Network (charity arm of Shoprite) has once
again partnered with Save Our Needy on the "Better Life Through
Education" project.
The project which primarily aims at improving learning conditions of
pupils attending low-income (public) schools and promoting early
childhood development (ECD), was attended by dignitaries and
representatives from Ministry of Education, Lagos State Basic
Education Board (SUBEB) and Mushin Local Government.
During the course of the project, a school block of 5 classrooms was
rehabilitated: broken ceilings and leaking roofs were fixed, damaged
floors were repaired, classrooms and the entire school block were
painted. The classrooms were also equipped with whiteboards.
St Martins School and the Mushin community were selected as
beneficiaries of this phase of the project because of their high
population density and high poverty rate.
In her speech at the joyous occasion, the CEO of Save Our Needy,
Marvella Odili, emphasized that "quality education for every child
should never be compromised. All children irrespective of their social
backgrounds, have the right to study in a conducive and peaceful
environment. That is non negotiable."
"Better Life Through Education" was launched in August 2015. More than
three schools in Lagos State have benefitted from the initiative so
far.
