Free JAMB Forms to Students
In a dedicated effort to promote education and empower children in the Cross River State, the OMARA ACHONG Educational Foundation is set to provide free JAMB forms to students from Cross River North communities. This initiative is generously sponsored by the foundation to support indigent students.
The OMARA ACHONG Educational Foundation is committed to advocating for quality education and ensuring that underprivileged students have access to academic opportunities. By providing this support, the foundation aims to ease the financial burden on students and encourage higher educational attainment.
To facilitate the registration process, the free JAMB form registration will take place in strategically chosen locations to reduce transportation costs for beneficiaries.
The CEO of the Foundation, expresses confidence that this generous contributions towards education and community development would go a long way to cushion the effects of hardships. He emphasized that such initiatives play a crucial role in shaping the future of young learners and fostering societal growth.
This initiative underscores the foundation’s unwavering commitment to educational advancement, ensuring that students from underserved communities have the resources they need to succeed.
The book donations initiative is one of the platforms the Foundations uses to engage youths in the rural communities in Nigeria through donations of books and teaching aids (books, whiteboards, educational materials, STEM technology) to make educational functional and promote effective teaching and enrichment of middle and high schoolers with functional education to compete with their peers globally.
OMARA is leading the way by partnering with other Foundations to help distribute donated books and teaching materials to rural communities in Cross River North. It aspires to break the cycle of generational poverty through education and vocational training for Vulnerable children to extend their education and pursue classes and training to accomplish their personal goals, often in the context of a family-style living arrangement while learning life skills and entrepreneurship.
OMARA Back2School Project
The rate of poverty and school dropouts is on the rise in Nigeria, especially in the rural communities. The increasing rate of family displacement has also directly affected the number of out-of-school children. This increases the vulnerability of children to child labor and abuse, and subsequently social vices including substance use and abuse, etc.
Omara Achong Educational Foundation plans to relieve the rural communities of this burden by; identifying children in this category who have completed their basic school; enroll them; and sponsor them through the three years of study in Junior Secondary School, as well as provide them with empowerment programs.
This project is aimed at supporting the education of children (primary school leavers) who are unable to further their education due to either their poor family background and/or displacement due to insurgency through their Junior Secondary School years (JSS1-3). The scope of the project covers: enrolment fees; uniforms; textbooks including mathematics, English, and basic sciences; school kits including sandals and school bags; transportation and lunch allowance; writing materials; and Junior school certificate examination fees. This is to ensure that beneficiaries are able to concentrate and perform optimally among their contemporaries in school.
The implementation of this project will increase school enrollment and improve literacy in our rural communities. This will in turn reduce child labor and abuse and other social vices. The project will also ensure holistic development of beneficiaries through the formal education they will access in their various schools as well as the leadership training and mentoring program that we will be offering to them.
Our goal is to see the beneficiaries acquire the requisite formal and informal skills to perform excellently in their chosen endeavors. This project is envisioned to be implemented in two phases: The Junior School Phase and the Senior School Phase. The Junior School Phase is expected to prepare beneficiaries for the Senior School Phase.
