Education is the foundation for personal growth, societal development, and national progress. Yet, millions of Nigerian children remain out of school due to poverty, lack of resources, and limited opportunities in rural and underserved communities. At the Adewumi Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a chance to learn, dream, and achieve their full potential — regardless of their family’s financial situation.
The Harsh Reality
According to UNICEF, Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children in the world, with over 10 million boys and girls missing out on education. For many of these children, the barrier is not a lack of willingness to learn, but the inability to afford basic school fees, uniforms, books, and learning materials. Poverty forces countless families to choose between feeding their children and sending them to school. Sadly, this choice often results in a lifetime of missed opportunities for these young ones.
Our Mission
The “Project: Send a Nigerian Poor Kid to School” is an initiative of Adewumi Foundation aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty through access to quality education. Our mission is simple yet powerful — identify children in need, provide them with full educational sponsorship, and support them all the way from primary to secondary education, ensuring they have the tools to succeed.
What We Provide
Through this project, we will cover:
-
School Fees: Ensuring no child is denied education because of inability to pay.
-
Uniforms & Shoes: Giving children the pride of wearing proper school attire.
-
Books & Learning Materials: Providing essential resources for learning.
-
Mentorship & Guidance: Offering emotional, academic, and career guidance to inspire their future goals.
The Impact of Your Support
When you sponsor a child’s education, you are not just paying school fees — you are changing a life. You are:
-
Reducing child labor and street hawking.
-
Giving a child the confidence and dignity that comes with being in school.
-
Creating future leaders, professionals, and change-makers who will contribute positively to Nigeria.
Every child we help today is a future teacher, doctor, engineer, artist, or innovator who can transform not only their life but also their community.
How You Can Help
We cannot achieve this goal alone — your generosity makes it possible. You can:
-
Sponsor a Child: Cover a year or more of a child’s education.
-
Make a One-time Donation: Any amount goes a long way in helping us reach more children.
-
Partner with Us: If you are an organization or business, collaborate with us to expand this project’s reach.
Conclusion
Education is a basic right, not a privilege. By supporting “Project: Send a Nigerian Poor Kid to School,” you are planting seeds of hope, knowledge, and empowerment in the lives of children who might otherwise be forgotten. Together, we can create a future where no Nigerian child is left behind because of poverty.
