The Stanley Jegede Foundation (SJF) has said it is collaborating with ADASI (Adopt A School Initiative) to drive sustainable education development programmes (EDPs) within Osun State.
The current collaboration between SJF and ADASI, according to a statement on Wednesday in Abuja from the Foundation, is the renovation and rehabilitation of schools and the provision of essential educational materials for enhanced delivery of quality education in the state.
This, the statement noted, aligns with SJF’s mission of making quality education accessible to Africa’s disadvantaged populations and empowering children and youth to fulfil their positive aspirations.
The intervention by the Stanley Jegede Foundation is part of its Quarter Four (Q4), 2024 interventions and advocacy, this time targeting the South-West.
Recall that the Foundation’s Quarter 1, 2, and 3 engagements were tailored to the North-West, North-Central, South-South, and South-East through project initiatives that revolved around high-impact education, health, welfare, and emergency relief.
Speaking on the collaboration, the Executive Chairman of the Stanley Jegede Foundation, Mr Stanley Jegede, said SJF identified and decided to partner with ADASI because the foundation also has a legacy of enhancing educational opportunities through sustainable and collaborative efforts, with the mission to foster high-quality education in the South-West and to expand its efforts nationwide and across Africa, which complements SJF’s vision of equipping its Educational Development Programmes (EDP) beneficiaries for a promising future.
Jegede said, “At SJF, we believe that a robust education infrastructure is pivotal for unlocking the potential of Africa’s children. Our partnership with ADASI reinforces our unwavering commitment to fostering multi-resource learning environments where students can thrive academically and behaviourally. Together, we aim to redefine the educational experience for disadvantaged children across communities.
“This initiative premises the importance of creating safe, conducive learning environments and equipping schools with the tools needed to deliver effective education. By addressing gaps in infrastructure and resources, SJF is paving the way for a brighter future for students, one school at a time.
“Through this partnership, the Stanley Jegede Foundation reaffirms its dedication to working with similar vision-sharing non-profits and non-governmental organisations to bridge educational disparities and inspire a generation of lifelong learners in Nigeria and on the African continent.
