A non-profit organisation focused on empowering and developing excellent leaders out of youths and children, the Azera Community Foundation, has empowered underprivileged members of Ifako Ijaiye local council of Lagos State.

The Foundation during its debut mission, which it organised recently in partnership with Friends of KayoTunde, catered to 50 children and provided them with essential educational materials.

During the event tagged, ‘Project School In A Bag’, the foundation provided the children with learning materials such as textbooks, writing materials, storybooks on leadership and other essential school supplies.

The organisers explained that the foundation has a vision to build excellent leaders out of youths and children in the community, adding that the foundation recognises that education remains a crucial aspect of this development, which is why it is committed to providing the necessary materials to make learning accessible to everyone.

Founder of the foundation, Lamide Johnson, inspired the children to focus on their education and strive for the best.

“You all deserve the best, and you will get the best. Continue to be inspired, and don’t settle for less,” Johnson said.

Chief of Staff, Azera Community Foundation, Chinenye Ibiam, also said: “We are thrilled to have been able to provide these children with the necessary educational materials they need to excel in school. We know that education is a powerful tool for empowerment, and we are committed to providing the necessary resources to help children achieve their full potential.”

In his remarks, the foundation’s Programmes Manager, Daniel Nnam, expressed gratitude to the sponsors and partners.

“We were starstruck by the tremendous support we received from people who share the same vision of empowering the next generation of leaders. The success of the outreach is a testament to the dedication of the foundation and its partners, and the impact it has made on the lives of the children who benefited from the outreach is immeasurable.”
