Despite their isolation\, the Wumba people have a rich culture and deep connection to the land\, which is said to be founded by Tukura Minawe over 100 years ago. Their name "Wumba"\, according to locals is derived f rom the community's deity known as Wumbape.\n\n \;\n\nThey face many c hallenges\, including limited access to healthcare and education\, bad roa ds\, lack of potable water\, and consistent power outages.\n\n \;\n\nD uring our recent visit\, which was an easter period\, we were able to prov ide food supplies for over 80 Wumba children and over 150 widows.\n\n  \;\n\nIn addition\, our 9 volunteer team members were present and worked t o raise awareness about the Wumba community and their culture\, in hopes o f inspiring others to support and take action to protect the community thr ough government interventions.\n\n \;\n\nWe are proud of the progress that has been made in the Wumba community\, which has an appreciable numbe r of Muslims\, Christians\, and Traditionalists living in harmony despite the near lack of government presence and basic living support.  We are gr ateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of these rema rkable people because\, to them\, Easter was a memorable day to be loved a nd cared for seeing they always feel out of place and forgotten. Our chari ty work in other communities is ongoing and multifaceted\, and we are comm itted to continuing our support for the underserved and less privileged pe ople and helping them to improve their lives and preserve their cultures f or future generations.\n\n \;\n\nWe invite you to join us in our missi on to effectively support the less privileged with food\, access to basic healthcare services\, and educational support ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thecsafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/ 2022/07/DSCF2294.jpg CATEGORIES:Children,Helping LOCATION:WUMBA\, WUMBA\, ABUJA\, ABUJA\, FCT\, Nigeria X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=WUMBA\, ABUJA\, ABUJA\, FCT \, Nigeria;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=WUMBA:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3@thecsafoundation.org DTSTART:20230123T090000Z DTEND:20230123T181500Z DTSTAMP:20230130T102605Z URL:https://thecsafoundation.org/events/jss-dawaki-kagini/ SUMMARY:JSS DAWAKI & KAGINI DESCRIPTION:\n\nTouching lives begins with a helping hand\, at The Chioma S tates Afonne Foundation ( TCSAF) we love to give helping hands. On the 23r d of January 2023\, we were privileged to leave our footprints along with our team of volunteers in two governments schools namely \;\n\n \n\n J.S. S Dawaki\n \n J.S.S Kagini\nIn some parts of Nigeria\, education is predo minantly the prerogative of the rich.\nIt is also very absurd that in the 21st century\, a lot of people don't consider education a necessity\, some don't even give equal privileges for the girl child to acquire as much ed ucation as the boy child.\nThe 6-3-3-4 educational system in Nigeria was i ntroduced in 1982\;\n(i) six years of primary school (roughly for 5-11-yea r-olds) regarded as basic education\;\n(ii) three years of junior secondar y school (roughly 11-13-year olds)\;\n(iii) three years of senior secondar y school (roughly 13-16/17-year-olds).\nIt is important to note that\, "th e Universal Basic Education Programme was introduced in 1999 by the Federa l Government of Nigeria as a reform program aimed at providing greater acc ess to\, and ensuring the quality of basic education throughout Nigeria".\ n\n \n\nAt J.S.S Dawaki\, we were opportune to meet with the Principal\, M r. Santas Emmanuel who informed us that JSS1\, 2&\;3 classes are sub-di vided into a \, b \, c &\; d with an avareage of 81 students to accomad ate a number of students in each classroom.\nThe Principal showed us aroun d the school premisses. We met with the students and they were so excited to welcome us with so much happiness. The members of staff were warm and o rganized. The Principal also shared with us a few more problems the school was having especially related to the building . We took note of an open r oof that needed repair and the ceiling of the classroom that required a co mplete fix.\nThe most exciting time of our visit to J.S.S Darwarki was the time we handed the students the educational materials we bought them.\nWe requested a list of students whose parents found it challenging to foot t heir school fees. The bursar presented us a list of 25 students and we gla dly paid off their school fees for the current term (Second term) and the coming term (third term) - two terms in total. This was the most important goal we had to achieve before leaving for the next school and it was our pleasure.\n\n \n\nMoving to J.S.S Kagini\, we couldn't meet with the schoo l's Principal\, Mr J Abiodun Sunday but the Vice-Principal was very much h appy to welcome us. The students were rounding up for the day as it was al most closing hours and it is in one of our best wishes to have had enough time to interact with the students but that didn't withhold us from delive ring the gifts we had for them . The school's accountant provided us with a list containing the names of students that should benefit from the schoo l fees payment. These students were from families that were either experie ncing difficulties paying the school bills or orpahned and without hesitat ion we were so glad to assist. We wish we could do more.\n\n \n\nYour cont ributions would impact someone's live greatly and its never to late to joi n us in changing the world one place at a time.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thecsafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/ 2023/01/AirBrush_20230125113142.jpg CATEGORIES:Children,Helping LOCATION:DAWAKI & KAGINI\, DAWAKI &\; KAGINI\, ABUJA\, FCT\, Nigeria X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=DAWAKI & KAGINI\, ABUJA\, F CT\, Nigeria;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=DAWAKI & KAGINI:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
