The Caleb Danladi Foundation has sponsored seven students to study in the university and secured Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, forms for about 60 students in Kaduna State.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the beneficiaries were drawn from various communities within Jaba and Kagarko local government areas of the state.
Speaking while presenting the award letters to the students, the founder of the organization, Caleb Danladi, said the gesture was aimed at suppoting the less-privillaged in their bid to acquire quality education.
According to him, the secret of ensuring a meaningful life is to learn the act of giving back to the community and supporting the well-being of the less privileged.
Mr Danladi, who was represented by the Coordinator, Jaba Local Government Area, David Tuk, reiterated his desire to support child education and return out-of-school children back to the classrooms.
He said: “I have a burning passion to support child education and getting out of school children back to the classroom.
“Reducing the number of out of -school children and improving the quality of education from childhood to adolescence.
“As you are aware, we have more than 10.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria even though primary school education is officially free.
“My plan to put out of school children back into classrooms requires collaboration, community engagement, providing support, creating awareness, and tracking the number of out-of-school children.”
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the foundation will be launching a stakeholder’s engagement programme to promote basic education and tracking of out-of-school children within the communities.
Mr Danladi said the key to fulfillment is not receiving, but giving to the vulnerable and desirous person, hence the need to focus on the education of the younger ones.
Mr Danladi, therefore called on high-profile individuals to key into the project in order to cushion the plight of communities and the downtrodden.
