FXTM Partners with Karis and Eleos Foundation to Empower Students in Bariga, Lagos
In a heartwarming gesture celebrating International Charity Day, ForexTime (FXTM) has teamed up with the Karis and Eleos Hand of Hope Foundation to make a tangible difference in the lives of students in Bariga, Lagos. This initiative aims to equip primary and secondary school children with essential educational resources as they embark on a new academic year.
The event took place at Bright Achievers School and attracted a vibrant community atmosphere as over 500 underprivileged children eagerly received school supplies. The joy on their faces was palpable as they were handed out new school bags, writing materials, pencils, biros, rulers, exercise books, and comfortable school sandals. These thoughtful gifts are not merely tokens; they are instruments of empowerment that can help shape the future of these young minds.
But the initiative didn’t stop with just the children. Parents and caregivers also received much-needed support in the form of food items, clothing, shoes, sanitary pads, and household materials. In a time when economic conditions can weigh heavily on families, this generous act serves to relieve some of the burdens faced by those in the community.
Mr. Chikezie Ekechukwu, the Programme Manager of Karis and Eleos Foundation, delivered an inspiring message, emphasizing the initiative’s mission: “We aim to assist less-privileged families by ensuring that their children return to school well-prepared and focused on their education,” he stated. “We want to mitigate the challenges these families face by providing them with the necessary tools to foster learning and academic achievement.”
In her address, Ms. Adaeze Uzochukwu, FXTM’s Education Coordinator for Lagos, reiterated the company’s dedication to fostering educational opportunities. She expressed pride in collaborating with the Karis and Eleos Foundation, noting that both organizations share a common goal of helping underserved children thrive academically.
Ms. Bukola Bamiduro, the Founder and Executive Director of the foundation, passionately highlighted the importance of quality education in nurturing thriving communities. She explained the foundation’s decision to focus on Bariga: “Many pupils here lack essential learning resources, and our goal is to bridge this gap to help them excel.”
This collaboration not only shines a light on the pressing educational needs in Nigeria but also showcases how corporate social responsibility can create meaningful change. FXTM and the Karis and Eleos Foundation are making strides toward a brighter future, one school bag at a time.
As initiatives like this unfold across Nigeria, they serve as reminders of the collective power of community and corporate partnerships to uplift society.
