Slum2School Africa keeps blossoming with passionate and determined
creative problem-solvers who want to make a sustainable impact in the society.
In the midst of all our social challenges we believe that young people have a
great voice and role to play in bringing about desired change. We believe that
rather than just complain about problems, we can be part of the solution.
And to this end Slum2School Africa has launched another
opportunity for Young, Passionate, Patriotic and Solution driven individuals
who would love to be part of our great Volunteer network to apply. And also an
opportunity for collaborations with organizations and individuals with a shared
vision. Our aim is to create more
awareness for this great cause and in the process give more young people the
opportunity to volunteer.
UNESCO’s undeniable statistics exposes that 57 million children
are still out of school globally. About half of these children live in
Sub-Saharan Africa with about 10Million in Nigeria. It’s hard to imagine what
57 million children look like, but we choose to focus on changing these
statistics gradually by building collaborative
structures and empowering these disadvantaged
children to realize
their full potential. We believe that children
deserve a chance to be educated and enlightened so their future and ours can be
secured. We also believe that the best way to change lives is by acting.
The Slum2School Africa, a volunteer driven developmental
organization was initiated to address this challenge by building collaborative
structures with all educational/developmental stakeholders to organize
awareness campaigns, providing educational scholarships and psychosocial
support programs to disadvantage children, provide school and community
support, build and manage low cost schools in slums and remote communities and
finally work with government to develop policies to address the educational
challenges. Moreover our
focus is to mobilize efforts of government, private sector, individuals and
other development agencies towards building a collaborative and sustainable
network to secure educational opportunities for children from disadvantaged
families/communities and also build a network of socially responsible youths
with a mindset of social development.
Since inception in 2012, Slum2School Africa has already won over
15 national and international awards for its innovativeness, community
development, leadership, youth drive and social impact like, The Nigerian CSR
Awards 2012, Two times winner of the Future Awards in Education 2012 and 2013,
Lagos State Honours Award 2012, Young achievers Award by the Global Foundation,
Nigerian Leadership Award by NLI, 2013 etc. We have already attracted over 1500
Volunteers from 10 countries who have actively contributed physically and
virtually to the organizational impact and have also organized over 15 major
support programs in slums and remote communities and provided educational
scholarships and support to 650 disadvantaged children from various slums and
remote communities like Emina, Saga island, Okuagbo and Makoko.
We are passionate about this and we thank every individual,
organization and institution for believing in our vision. To Volunteer kindly
