In Abuja, many children in targeted schools learn while sitting on the floor or on broken plastic chairs. This lack of basic furniture hurts their ability to write and focus. School should be a place of dignity, not discomfort. We must provide proper wooden desks now to improve their learning conditions and give them a real reason to stay in class and away from the streets.
Children arrive at school to find no proper place to sit. They must balance their books on their laps or share a single broken bench with four others. This makes writing very difficult and causes aches. For a child already unsure about school, this hardship is a big reason to leave and not come back.
We will buy local timber and hire carpenters from the community to build simple, durable desks. Each desk will give two children a clean, flat surface. We will deliver them directly to classrooms where children currently sit on the floor. A good desk makes learning physically easier and shows each child they are valued.
A solid desk tells a child their education matters. With a proper place to learn, children will attend school more regularly and engage with their teachers. This basic support can be the difference between dropping out and gaining the literacy and skills needed to build a stable, honest future for themselves and their community.
