As the new school year approaches, it’s time once again to consider the preparations necessary for students to return to their academic routines. The rising cost of living, coupled with financial obligations and various social pressures, significantly affects families’ ability to cover all school-related expenses. Despite parents’ best efforts, these challenges create considerable disparities among students.
In fact, beyond school enrollment, having all necessary supplies on time and stress-free is crucial for a student’s success in school and life.
However, the development of Africa and it’s nation, along with the enhancement of human capital in our communities, greatly relies on how well we equip and prepare these students for success.
That’s why the NGO “Helping Hand Community” has partnered with local and international companies to support parents and students in Lagos, Nigeria and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. ”They will hold the 3rd Edition of their Back-to-School Giveaway program on Saturday, September 7th, 2024, at Freedom Park in Lagos, Nigeria.

◦ School Supply Distribution: Stations will be set up for children to collect their supplies in an orderly and enjoyable manner.
