BMAN ADVOCACY Low Income Families Education (L.I.F.E) Support was established to support children in rural communities to open up educational opportunities so that they have hope of positively contributing to a thriving society. The BMAN ADVOCAY L.I.F.E Support Scheme has offered four undergraduates tuition scholarship in foreign private University and currently funding the education of over fifty boys in private schools.
BMAN ADVOCACY Low Income Families Education (L.I.F.E) Support summit holds on Friday, 30th of August, 2019 at University of Lagos, Main Auditorium, with the theme “BEYOND LIMITS”. We are focused on evolving a greater future by investing in our children today, especially children from Low Income Families. It is our belief that education is the only social element that, if improved, always increases the quality of the human life and no family can truly develop unless their children are educated. The best way to have a great future is to prepare for it today. Though it’s not in our power to decide future occurrences, we can, to a large extent, control today’s events.
This BMAN ADVOCACY Low Income Families Education (L.I.F.E) Support Summit is targeted at raising funds to construct the first ever ultra-modern secondary school in Tafan community and in its eight satellite villages in Kaduna state where about 350 children have missed school since 2011. The nearest school to them prior to the ravages of insurgency was 10 kilometers from their community. This proposed school will include classrooms, an administrative block, a laboratory, an ICT Centre and an agriculture green garden. The school will be named Joshua Beckford Community School.
This event promises to be eternally impactful and will host the Governor of Lagos, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu as the FATHER OF THE DAY, Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr Hadiza Balarabe as the MOTHER OF THE DAY, Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), Alhaji Sama’lia Barau Maigoro, President/CEO Falke Industries Ltd as Keynote Speaker, industry experts, top entertainers and important personalities from home and abroad and over 5,000 students in attendance.
We rely on your goodwill and those of other Nigerians and people beyond our borders who share our vision to support this drive to get these children back to school. We hope to extend this model to other parts of the country faced with similar challenges.
