In alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, which promotes inclusive and equitable quality education, the Brenda Goodall Foundation has launched its Back to School Project in Plateau State to support pupils in underserved rural communities.
The initiative aims to reduce barriers to learning by providing essential school supplies and educational support to elementary and secondary school students, particularly those from indigent backgrounds.
The project was officially flagged off at St. Louis Primary School, Zargung Kamang Foron, in Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area, where backpacks and books were distributed to pupils. The exercise was led by the Founder of the Foundation, Mrs. Sarah Dakas, alongside members of her team.
Speaking during the outreach, Mrs. Dakas said the project was inspired by her passion to ensure that every Nigerian child, regardless of background or location, has access to quality education. She described education as a critical tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering children to reach their full potential.
According to her, the Back to School Project is not a one-off intervention, as the Foundation plans to roll out additional phases in the coming months. She disclosed that more communities across Plateau State and beyond would benefit from the initiative as part of the Foundation’s broader commitment to educational development.
Beneficiaries and school authorities expressed appreciation to the Foundation, describing the intervention as timely and impactful, especially for pupils whose families struggle to meet basic educational needs.
The Brenda Goodall Foundation has continued to play an active role in promoting social development initiatives, with education identified as a key pillar of its humanitarian interventions.
