    Description

    Greetings, From Warri Delta State, Nigeria!

    We are Zion and Elohor, a married couple who are very passionate teachers and change agents. We started the project, after seeing personally how many children in underserved communities in Warri, Delta State, lacked access to an education.

    It all began with a basic dream—to enable a small number of children to break the cycle of poverty by education. What started as a little project to sponsor a few children rapidly expanded into something far more. Currently we are operating two tuition-free schools; we offer education, mentoring, healthcare, and basic resources to more than 3250 underprivileged children who would not otherwise have access to learning.

    Our project empowers entire families and uplifts the community by offering:

    Free primary education for underprivileged children
    Training for local teachers to raise the standard of instruction.
    Healthy school lunches and medical support for our pupils.
    A safe and loving surrounding where every child can dream large.

    Travellers and volunteers eager to make a difference in the lives of out-of-school children and engage our students, teach, mentor, and experience the warmth of Nigerian culture would be much welcomed.

    Your time, abilities, and presence can transform life!

    Join us in Warri, Nigeria, and help one child at a time to build a better future.
