11Nov By ClarksonNovember 13, 20260Education The educational intervention, which attracted students, teachers, parents and other stakeholders, was organised to provide deserving students with the support they need to continue their education and pursue their academic ambitions. As part of the initiative, the Foundation announced scholarship support covering school fees and writing materials for the five beneficiaries throughout their secondary school education. In addition to the scholarships, 24 students received school bags containing essential writing materials to support their academic activities. The Foundation also announced the donation of 20 chairs for teachers to improve the school’s learning and working environment. The event featured several activities, including cultural performances, quiz competitions and interactive sessions, bringing together members of the school community to celebrate the intervention. The Founder of the Foundation, Israel Ibeleme, reaffirmed his commitment to using education as a means of improving lives and creating opportunities for children from less privileged backgrounds. He explained that the initiative was part of the Foundation’s longstanding educational support programme, which began in 2006 with the aim of reaching vulnerable individuals and communities. The event was attended by Mrs Judith Amaechi, wife of the then Minister of Transportation and Founder of the Empowerment Support Initiative (ESI). She congratulated the scholarship recipients and encouraged them to remain focused on their education. She also pledged support towards the school fees of the beneficiaries. The Principal of Junior Secondary School, Gosa, Mr Michael Achi, appreciated the Foundation for choosing the school as a beneficiary of its educational intervention. He described the support as an encouragement to students, particularly those whose educational aspirations could otherwise be affected by financial challenges. Through this initiative, Israel Ibeleme Foundation reaffirmed its belief that financial limitations should not prevent children from accessing education and achieving their potential. The Foundation remains committed to supporting disadvantaged students through scholarships, educational materials, infrastructure development and other initiatives that promote equal opportunities in education. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and achieve their dreams.
