In furtherance of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which promotes inclusive and equitable quality education, the Brenda Goodall Foundation has launched the first phase of its Back to School Project in Plateau State.
The initiative aims to support elementary and secondary school students in rural communities by providing essential learning materials, thereby reducing barriers to education and enhancing academic development.
As part of the Phase One rollout, the Foundation, led by its Founder, Mrs. Sarah Dakas, visited St. Louis Primary School in Zargung Kamang Foron, Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area, where backpacks and books were distributed to indigent pupils.
Addressing the pupils and school authorities during the visit, Mrs. Dakas said the project was driven by her passion to ensure that every Nigerian child has access to quality education, irrespective of their background or geographical location. She described education as a critical tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering children to build a better future.
Mrs. Dakas also disclosed that the Foundation plans to implement subsequent phases of the Back to School Project in the coming months, with the aim of reaching more underserved communities and extending educational support to a larger number of children across the state.
She reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to partnering with stakeholders to promote access to education and contribute to sustainable development in Plateau State.
