Help equip school children in Nigeria

We are inviting you to join hands with us in making a difference.  I'm raising money in aid of Vivian Osunkoya Shodipo (VOS) Foundation and every donation, no matter how small, will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that            means so much to me. Visit our website

Vivian Osunkoya Shodipo (VOS) Foundation was established in 2017 following the  devastating death of Vivian; who was an active teacher and advocate for improved     standard of education for children within Nigeria. The Foundation was created to        commemorate and continue with Vivian’s great legacy. The charity foundation              delivers educational improvements, inspire and empower young people. One of our    flagship projects is making available comfortable chairs and desks to improve                  learning environment for the kids.

Sponsor a classroom desk: Your help is needed to provide 400 children with                    appropriate classroom furniture. Thank you for the support you have given us thus      far. Through your support last year, we were able to provide 40 children with desks     and chairs at a cost of 30,000 Naira which is equivalent to about £65, per set of              furniture.  Your generosity was astonishing and your commitment has been second to none.  The challenge is much bigger this year, that is why we continue to need your      help to reach the target.  

We always welcome large contributions, but because we serve children who are           feeling discouraged, disenfranchised and have lost hope to continue with their              education, even the smallest year-end contribution goes a long way.      For example, a contribution of £35 will pay for a full set of chair and table for one child to have somewhere to sit, to concentrate and learn in school.  

As a way of demonstrating our appreciation and acknowledge your generosity, your  name could be inscribed on the furniture as a “sponsor partner”, if you wish.

School children spend over 5 hours a day sitting in classrooms, often using tables    and chairs that are crammed with more children on the chairs than they are designed for, or are uncomfortable to sit for such a long time. This can sometimes lead to bad   posture and back pain.

To safeguard the wellbeing of children, with your contribution we support and                remove barriers to their learning. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are in need of   assistance from people in order for us to meet the needs of the young people we are   in touch with.

Other VOS Foundation projects include running free Summer Academy focusing on:

·        Information Technology

·        CV Writing and Interview Skills

·        Basic First Aid/Hygiene Training

·        Leadership Skills

·        Mentoring

We also create and equip libraries as learning hubs for young people.
