On July 27th, Save Our Needy in partnership with the Shoprite Community Network (charity arm of Shoprite) commissioned a block of 5 classrooms at St Martins Nursery and Primary School, Mushin, Lagos. The entire school block was rehabilitated under the project ''Better Life Through Education.''
The project which primarily aims at improving learning conditions of pupils attending low-income (public) schools and promoting early childhood development (ECD), was attended by dignitaries and representatives from Ministry of Education, Lagos State Basic
Education Board (SUBEB) and Mushin Local Government.

During the course of the project, broken ceilings and leaking roofs
were fixed, damaged floors were repaired, classrooms and the entire
school block were painted. The classrooms were also equipped with
whiteboards.
St Martins School and the Mushin community were selected as beneficiaries of this phase of the project because of their high population density and high poverty rate.
In her speech at the joyous occasion, the CEO of Save Our Needy, Marvella Odili, emphasized that "quality education for every child should never be compromised. All children irrespective of their social backgrounds, have the right to study in a conducive and peaceful environment. That is non negotiable."
"Better Life Through Education" was launched in August 2015. More than three schools in Lagos State have benefited from the initiative so far.
