The project aimed at promoting education amongst disadvantaged children and encouraging girl-child enrolment, has come and gone, but it remains indelible in the minds of everyone particularly the beneficiaries. 500 disadvantaged children attending low-income (public) nursery and primary schools in Lagos State were given free schoolbags and writing materials.
In 2013, Save Our Needy made front page news in a National daily in Benin Republic for its contribution to development through poverty alleviation programmes. The Save Our Needy team was applauded by the Benin media for reaching out to disadvantaged children in the most remote areas of Cotonou and Calavi to donate schoolbags to them under the ''One Child, One Schoolbag'' project.
Since 2011 when it was launched in Benin Republic, the ''One Child, One Schoolbag'' project has benefited no less than 1,500 disadvantaged children particularly girls. More than 5,000 lives have been touched so far.
