FIST Africa, in collaboration with the Madiba Foundation for Good Governance, has donated desks, chairs, whiteboards, and other teaching aids to LEA Primary School in Kabusa, Abuja. This initiative is part of the two organizations’ commitment to improving education in the Nigerian capital.
“Education is a fundamental right,” said Elizabeth Fred-Adetiba, executive director of FIST Africa. “No child should be denied access to it due to financial constraints. FIST Africa is honoured to collaborate with the Madiba Foundation for Good Governance to contribute to the betterment of LEA Primary School, Kabusa”.
The donation was made in response to a previous visit by FIST Africa, during which the organization paid the school fees of nine indigent pupils. Recognizing the widespread challenge of school fees, FIST Africa also adopted six children from the school and committed to covering their fees through university level.
