The Collins Ogheneruona Leonard Foundation recently handed out over 5,500 school bags, sandals, and other essential learning materials to pupils and students across Delta State. This initiative aims to support education and child development, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
The foundation distributed school bags, sandals, and learning materials to 5,500 students across several local government areas in Delta State, including Okpe, Sapele, Ethiope East, Ethiope West, Udu, Uvwie, Ughelli South, Ughelli North, Isoko South, Isoko North, Warri South, Warri South-West, and Warri North.
The foundation’s mission is to complement the Delta State Government’s drive for quality and inclusive education, ensuring no child is deprived of basic educational materials due to economic challenges.
Parents, teachers, and community leaders have commended the foundation for its consistency in advancing youth and educational development across the state.
The initiative reflects the spirit of Governor Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori’s M.O.R.E. Agenda, focusing on Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security across Delta State.
“Education remains one of the most powerful tools to transform lives and build a better society. Supporting our young learners with school materials is a small but impactful way to encourage them to stay in school and pursue their dreams with confidence.” Collins Leonard said.
