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,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic K.
