The Founder of Prince Adeyinka Alli Foundation (PAAF), Prince Adeyinka Alli has empowered no fewer than 250 students in primary and secondary schools with exercise books and school sandals in Ekiti State.
The PAAF Boss, through his “Back to School Project” displayed this generosity in Obada Community Nursery and Primary School and Al-Bilal Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ise/Orun Local Government Area (LGA) of Ekiti State respectively.
This, according to him was done to lift some burden on the chest of the parents as students resume a new session.
Prince Alli described Education as a powerful tool that can transform lives and communities as well as nurturing young minds and shaping the future.
In his words, “This initiative aimed to meet the educational needs of 250 students from Obada Community Nursery and Primary School and Al-Bilal Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ise/Orun Local Government Area (LGA) of Ekiti State.
“These students received essential school supplies, including PAAF exercise books and school sandals.
“My foundation is a non-profit organization committed to improving the quality of life in local communities, with a particular focus on education, healthcare, and social development, which is established with a vision to empower individuals and communities.”
Prince Alli added that “One of the most crucial aspects of a child’s education is access to learning materials. PAAF recognized this need and provided 250 students with high-quality PAAF exercise books.
“These exercise books serve as a valuable resource for students to practise their lessons, take notes, and improve their academic performance. By distributing these exercise books, PAAF not only enhanced the students’ learning experience but also demonstrated its commitment to educational development.
“Proper footwear is essential for the safety and comfort of students, especially in a school environment. These sandals not only protect students’ feet but also contribute to a sense of pride and confidence among the young learners.”
It was recalled that PAAF had organised a free coaching lesson to the Students in the community before their proper resumption into school, which was intended to hone their learning skills and prepare them for future challenges.
On their part, the school management of Obada Community Nursery and Primary School, expressed their appreciation for PAAF’s support, saying,
“This initiative by the Prince Adeyinka Alli Foundation is a significant boost to our efforts in providing quality education for the children in our community. It shows that when individuals and organizations come together for a common goal, we can achieve great things.
“The Back-to-School Project organized by the Prince Adeyinka Alli Foundation stands as a shining example of the positive impact that organizations and individuals can have on their communities when they prioritize education.
“By providing essential school supplies such as exercise books and school sandals, PAAF has empowered 250 students in Ekiti State to pursue their dreams and receive a quality education. This initiative serves as a beacon of hope for other organizations and individuals to join hands and invest in the future of our youth.
“Through their commitment to education and community development, PAAF has not only transformed lives but also sown the seeds of progress in Ekiti State.”
Earlier, Prince Alli had also embarked on a transformative journey in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, through its Skills Acquisition Programme, which was aimed to equip individuals with valuable skills in photography, graphics design, and networking.
Over the course of the program, thirty dedicated participants graduated, receiving certificates of participation and completion.
