In a significant step toward educational empowerment, PEPNET has launched its “Back to School for Peace Project” at Junior Secondary School, Mpape, Abuja. This transformative initiative, which kicked off on November 4th, 2024, aims to provide educational opportunities to underprivileged students, embodying our commitment to fostering peace through education.
A Vision for Educational Access
The Back to School for Peace Project carries an ambitious vision: to enroll 50 students back into school annually. This initiative goes beyond mere enrollment by providing comprehensive support including tuition fees, educational supplies, and ongoing mentorship to ensure student success.
Making Dreams Reality: Our First Beneficiary
We’re proud to introduce Morris Destiny, our pilot beneficiary, whose enrollment marks the beginning of this impactful journey. Through a collaborative funding approach between PEPNET and the student’s family, we’ve provided comprehensive educational support including:
- Full tuition fee coverage
- Essential educational supplies
- School uniforms and materials
- Transportation support
This holistic support package ensures that our beneficiaries have everything they need to focus on their education and personal growth.
Partnership with School Leadership
The project has received strong support from the J.S.S Mpape administration team. During meetings with the school leadership, Principal Mrs. Onugwu Ngozi expressed appreciation for PEPNET’s comprehensive approach to student support. The school’s administration has committed to partnering with us in:
- Regular monitoring of student progress
- Ensuring sustained academic development
- Supporting the long-term success of beneficiaries
Our Approach: Quality Over Quantity
In collaboration with school administrators, we’ve adopted a strategic approach focusing on sustainable, long-term support rather than short-term assistance. This ensures that each beneficiary receives the consistent support needed to achieve their educational goals.
Community Impact and Future Plans
The project has already begun fostering stronger community ties, with additional participants joining to support our outreach efforts. This growing network of support strengthens our ability to create lasting educational opportunities in the Mpape area.
