Sogbera Foundation has distributed an array of essential school supplies to deserving students across schools in Imota local council development area.
The initiative aims to empower and uplift 100 schoolchildren, instilling in them the belief that education is not only a gift but a path to a promising future.
“We believe that education is the key to unlocking the potential within every child,” Adeola Sogbera, the founder of Sogbera Foundation said. “Our mission is to provide the essential tools and support needed to inspire these young minds and pave the way for a brighter future.”
The foundation, which is driven by its mission to empower young minds, visited nine schools in the primary school category in Imota local government.
The schools that benefited were Ansar-ud-deen Primary School, Ajegunle,Local Government Primary School, Atere,Methodist Primary School, Onabu,St’ John Primary School, Opopo/Itumaja,Community Primary School, Ori-Okuta,Abejoye Primary School, Igbokuta, UNN Primary School, Oko-Ito/Igbalu, Imota community Junior Grammar School Imota, and Adebanjo Primary School, Onabu, Imota.
The foundation’s commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind was evident in the comprehensive support they provided. Each student received a package that included uniforms, notebooks, pens, pencil sets, math sets and water bottles.
As part of their holistic approach to education, the Sogbera Foundation introduced students to the SMART roadmap, a guiding light for success. The SMART acronym stands for:
S – Study Diligently:Encouraging students to apply themselves in learning and understanding subjects thoroughly.
M – Make Goals:Fostering the habit of setting clear and achievable educational and future goals.
A – Act Responsibly:Instilling a sense of ownership for their studies and responsibilities.
R – Resilience: Nurturing strength in the face of challenges and cultivating the determination to never give up on their dreams.
T – Time Management:Teaching the art of wise time management to balance commitments effectively.
These life skills, embedded in the SMART roadmap, provided students not only with tools for academic success but also with the capabilities to navigate the path ahead, in education and beyond.
While this initiative has already touched the lives of many, there are still more children eagerly awaiting their chance at a brighter future. Sogbera Foundation invites all compassionate souls to join hands in this noble endeavour. Together, we can continue to restore dignity to the education journey of countless children, one essential item at a time.
Sogbera Foundation firmly believes that education is not just a gift but a fundamental right that every child deserves.
The foundation made it known that none of this remarkable initiative would have been possible without the generous support of dedicated partners who share the vision of empowering young minds. Sogbera Foundation extends heartfelt gratitude to BIC Company, Softpoint, 1 Million Teachers, Phenomenon Edu Impact, and The Change Makers for their unwavering sponsorship and commitment to making a difference in the lives of these students.
