Family Care partner: Edu-Vision - Project Managers: Simon Danmola and Michelle Oosterwijik
Edu-vision International Services (EIS) provides qualitative education for children from less privileged rural communities in the Abuja region of Nigeria.
Many of these client families are not able to send their children to school, not to speak of living in deplorable conditions. A school established by EIS for the targeted communities provides both children academic education, as well as adult literacy classes, primarily for the village women, as well as training local teachers and providing them with employment.
Additionally, in conjunction with U.S. based organizations, EIS is methodically distributing 250,000 supplementary readers and teaching/learning aids to schools in four states in Nigeria, as part of the U.S. Administration's 'Strengthening Basic Education in Africa Initiative'.
EIS plans include setting up a vocational training center for Vasico Vaginal Fistula patients (VVF), in addition to organizing seminars for teachers from primary & post primary schools. Presently they have a pilot program in place.
