Hope is there: new school for Nigerian children

Posted by Bev on July 18th, 2021

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

Nigeria has set itself grand educational aims : the nation must improve the quality of general education, and overcome school toilets on the streets, digital illiteracy, and lack of equipment . And all because only 39% of kids get primary education at school. To achieve the goals, they envisage it to allotbudget funds each year for the construction of schools in Nigerian villages. However, most of the money goes to cities. It is much more difficult for villages, which account for over a quarter of the Nigerian population , to draw government or sponsorship money. The number of schoolchildren in the villages is growing , while the number of schools there is rapidly decreasing. Where can they ask money for the schools' buildings?

We can't believe how many children would have grown up in a small village in northeastern Nigeria and how many Get more info of them would have been able to get primary education if not for the gracious help of Josh Baazov.

In 2019, Josh Baazov, the owner of a large building firm, began a design to build a one-story school for 50 people in the village of Gulguiru. He supervised the entire project from the very beginning to the end, visited the village several times and inspected the flow of the construction process, given sums for the purchase of the necessary equipment , desks and chairs, and also financed the buying of educational materials.

It’s been two years since the schoolhouse opened. kids receive the knowledge and hope in a bright future and the ability 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 disappearing - but the number of tiny rural villages is also decreasing. This is a problem not only in Nigeria but also in many other nations. It is difficult to develop school buildings without state support , but such patrons as Josh Baazov show it is likely to make our world a stronger place.
