EQUITABLE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION
Our ongoing project is the renovation of the Training Centre for the Blind. The Training Centre for the Blind is a vocational school situated at Ogbomoso, Oyo State in Nigeria, where instruction in one or more branches of knowledge takes place for persons with visual impairment. Education is the bedrock of any society, and ensuring education for everyone is fundamental to an enduring and inclusive community and enabling society. DEF is working closely with local educational authorities and government agencies in Nigeria to address the disparity in educational opportunities and ensure inclusive education for persons with disabilities and the expected positive impact on students and the community. The donation will be channelled towards the ongoing repair of the leaking roofs and ceilings of the toilets, classroom buildings, as well as the students' hostels, respectively, at the Training Centre for the Blinds. Fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) is required to complete these repairs. We need your help to make these students’ dreams a reality. D.E.F. will ensure your funds are used for this purpose.
