The story

He learned to read in this classroom. He came back to rebuild it.

Ozo Dr. Emmanuel Chijioke Ozoeneh is a son of Nsude. He spent his early school years in these same walls. Decades later he walked back through the gate and found the building almost exactly as he left it, only older, weaker and more dangerous.

“Whatever you want to become, I will make sure you become it. Stay focused. Do not lose hope.”— Ozo Dr. Emmanuel Chijioke Ozoeneh, speaking to the pupils of Nsude Primary School

That promise became the Little Hands Big Dreams Foundation. The children answered with one word, over and over: Amen. Now we need partners to keep it.

Where the $250,000 goes

Eight things that change a child's whole education

Classroom blocks

New, roofed, weatherproof classrooms to replace an 80-year-old building children still sit in today.

Desks & chairs

A seat and a writing surface for every pupil, instead of bare floors and broken benches.

Books & supplies

Textbooks, exercise books, pens and teaching materials for every class, every term.

Daily feeding

A hot meal each school day so children can learn instead of counting the hours until they eat.

School buses

Safe transport for pupils who walk long, exposed roads to reach the school gate.

Uniforms

Clean, complete uniforms so no child stays home out of shame.

Security

Perimeter fencing and trained guards to protect pupils from kidnapping for ransom.

Teacher support

Backing for the teachers who have kept this school alive with almost nothing.
