Jaji Abolore, Boothfest Foundation Charity bring succour to SA school kids

The greatest act of charity is one done towards children, to guarantee for them a preserved future. Much more is their future secured when it is centred on education and that is exactly the drive for successful business entrepreneur Jaji Abolore, who is the founder of Boothfest Foundation Charity Organisation, a South Africa-based NGO.

Abolore, a Nigerian-turned South African, by acts of generosity, is ensuring that his foundation bridges the infrastructural gap in the country’s education system.

Abolore, through the #BoothAdoptASchool and #SaveAfricaChildren initiatives, has embarked on the renovation of children schools, with the most recent being the Partktown Primary School. Abolore has been advocating for support and urging sponsors to come on-board owing to the scale of work to be done.

“To our painters, carpenters, plumbers, electricians and our bricklayers, thank you,” Abolore said in an interview with reporters. “There is so much to be done. I am calling on volunteers, sponsors and partners to assist in making these renovations a success.”

Standard infrastructure and lack of basic services for a conducive learning environment are hampering quality education, and Abolore, who is also the CEO of Sandton Nightclub, is resolved to make sure that the deficit is reduced to its lowest.

Abolore lamented inadequate classrooms for pupils at the Parktown Primary School as one of the reasons why his foundation could not sit back and watch the situation.

“As the government continues to struggle to provide adequate school infrastructure, this situation seems to really affect the quality of education imparted to pupils,” he said.

He added: “Schools like Parktown Primary school only have 21 classrooms and are required to accommodate over 800 learners daily. Help us produce a conducive environment for Parktown Primary School learners.”
