“Better Life Through Education” Project Launched In Partnership With The Shoprite Community Network.

                                     

After months of preparation, the ‘’Better Life Through Education” project was finally launched today.

The main focus of this initiative is to promote early childhood development, encourage basic education amongst disadvantaged children and create a conducive atmosphere for learning.

Progressive Nursery and Primary School, Festac Town, Lagos, was the first beneficiary of this initiative. Whiteboards, dusters, markers, chairs and tables were donated to transform classes and improve learning conditions of the pupils. Some of the classrooms were also rehabilitated during the course of the project.

The SON and Shoprite Community Network teams were warmly received by excited parents, teachers, head teachers, members of the School Base Management Committee and members of the State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB), Lagos.

We sincerely wish to thank the Shoprite Community Network for ably and generously supporting us during this project. We also wish to express our gratitude to our partners Verdant Zeal, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) Lagos as well as our media partners Stella Dimoko Korkus blog, Vanguard, Punch and ThisDay newspapers.
