Dear Donors,

We sincerely thank you for making the Sponsor 1 Year of School for Underrepresented Girls program possible. Your generosity has brought real change to the lives of girls who once had little chance of entering a classroom.

We are pleased to share that the second term school fees for the girls currently supported through this project have now been fully paid. Because of your kindness, these students are continuing their studies and adjusting well to school life. Many of them are learning to read and write for the first time, and they are gradually gaining confidence in their classrooms.

Before joining the program, several of these girls spent their days helping with housework, assisting on farms, or selling items in local markets. School was something they had only heard about but never experienced. Today, they wake up each morning with the excitement of attending classes, meeting friends, and learning new subjects.

Your support has helped cover school fees, uniforms, books, and writing materials. These simple but important needs allow the girls to remain in school and focus on their education without the burden of financial hardship on their families.

Attached to this report are photos of the 10 girls currently benefiting from this project. Their smiles and determination show the difference your generosity has made in their lives.

We are deeply grateful for the compassion you have shown toward these girls. With continued support, we hope to extend this life changing opportunity to many more disadvantaged girls in rural and underserved communities who are still waiting for their chance to attend school.

Sincerely,

Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri

Ten Girls Begin Their Education Journey

By Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri | Project Leader

Dear Respected Donors,

We extend our sincere gratitude for your generous donations to this impactful project. Thanks to your support, we are thrilled to share that we have enrolled ten girls at Jephtha Academy Ogodo in Ankpa, a rural community where educational access remains limited for underprivileged children.

These selected girls had never held a pen or entered a classroom in their lives. Many are orphans who have known only hard labor. Though school fees are less than $5 per term for a student at Jephtha Academy, the only private school accessible to their village, most families are subsistence farmers who cannot afford this amount most epecially for educating daughters in a community where girls are systematically underrepresented.

As of November 13, 2025, our staff made a second trip to the village to deliver school supplies, including uniforms, books, pens, and bags. Due to the lack of internet access in the area, we are unable to share visuals at this time, but we look forward to providing photographs, receipts, financial reports, and the report cards of each student in our next update.

The following students are now on full scholarship:

Omede Mercy
Maha Hana
Monday Felicia
Blessing Ibrahim
Husseina Abdulmalik
Hassan Kadizat
Rahmat Audu
Aishat Abuh
Halimat Abdul
Juwerat Muhammed

You have made it possible for these girls to experience the opportunity of education. We join their parents in praying, “May God Almighty bless and replenish your pockets and assure you His kindness and protection.” Amen!

Next term, using remaining funds and any additional donations, we plan to expand the scholarship program to more villages in the same region, including Akwu, Emanyi, Enale, Ojuwo, and Atuma.

We have also included photographs of Jephtha Academy Ogodo. These are not directly related to our report or the scholarship program, but they give a sense of the school environment. While the school is not modern, it is a local, community-built structure, the students have a good level of English proficiency, and the academic curriculum is strong and well-organized.

Thank you for transforming lives through the power of education.

With sincere appreciation,
