Today is childrens’ day in Nigeria. I do wish every Nigerian child a happy childrens’ day. I am however deeply saddened by the fact that 20 million Nigerian children of school age are out of school.
This painful fact must be addressed by the government and other education stakeholders, while organizations like AWLO will continue to come up with initiatives that will compliment the government’s efforts.
Initiatives like our “One Mother One Child” education project allows each member of AWLO and our development partners to take at
least one child from the street to educate to the university level.
We encourage all AWLO chapters around the world to relaunch and activate this project within your regions and country.
