The Joseph Ogogo Foundation has donated books, bags and other learning materials to pupils in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State as part of efforts to address poverty-driven barriers to education.
The Foundation said the donation was part of a broader intervention programme that now covers tuition relief, community safety and rural infrastructure.
Speaking during the empowerment programme on Thursday, Founder of the Foundation, Dr. Austin Ogogo Jnr, said the initiative was driven by the Foundation’s commitment to improving the lives of vulnerable people through interventions in education, healthcare and community development.
He said, “This initiative is carefully targeted at interventions designed to improve access to education, restore dignity among vulnerable pupils, promote safer communities and strengthen the infrastructure required for sustainable development.”
