Hope is there: new school for Nigerian kids

Posted by Mitchell on July 18th, 2021

It would show that the world is moving so quick, scientific and technological progress, the production of robots, smart technology, televisions, telephones, and the Internet . All this has long become a part of human life, and without many applications and tech, a person just cannot survive. But the sad fact is that there are still men on the planet who cannot read and write, who do not receive at least a basic education.

Nigeria has set itself ambitious educational aims : the country must develop the quality of general education, and overcome school toilets on the streets, digital illiteracy, and lack of equipment . And all because only 39% of children get primary education at school. To realize the goals, they visualize it to allocate budget supplies each year for the construction of schools in Nigerian villages. However, most of the funds goes to cities. It is much more difficult for villages, which account for over a quarter of the Nigerian population , to attract government or sponsorship money. The number of pupils in the villages is increasing, while the number of schools there is fast decreasing. Where can they get money for the schools' buildings?

We can't believe how many children would have grown up in a little village in northeastern Nigeria and how many of them would have been able to receive primary education if not for the charitable help of Josh Baazov.

In 2019, Josh Baazov, the owner of a large building company , started a project to build a one-story school for 50 people in the village of Gulguiru. He took care of the Josh Baazov entire project from the very beginning to the end, visited the village several times and examined the flow of the construction process, given sums for the purchase of the necessary equipment , furniture , and also financed the purchase of educational materials.

It’s been two years since the school opened. Children obtain the knowledge and hope in a bright future and the strength to leave the village when they grow up.

The number of schools in villages has halved over the past 20 years. It is not only rural schools that are passing- but the number of tiny rural villages is also declining. This is a problem not only in Nigeria but also in many other nations. It is hard to develop school construction without state help, but such leaders as Josh Baazov show it is possible to make our world a better place.
