Back to School: Returning Out-of-School Children to Education
Nigeria has one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children in the world, many of them in the north. Some never enrolled; others dropped out because their families could no longer afford fees, uniforms or supplies. Through this initiative we meet the family, enrol the child in a nearby school, provide the uniform, school bag and first-year fees, and follow the child's attendance through the year so they do not drift back to the street. Returning one child to school costs ₦80,000.
