Keeping
It Real (KIR) Foundation has adopted six schools to deal with the education
emergency prevalent in the North. With such a huge problem everyone has to play
their part to solve it. That includes non-profit organizations. Which is why
KIR Foundation has adopted six primary schools in Northern Nigeria; three in
Adamawa State, one in Niger State, two in Plateau State and is also working
with the two IDP camps in Plateau State.
According
to UNESCO, “Northern Nigeria has the highest Child illiteracy rate in the
country”. One of the major barriers to school enrollment and retention is the
lack of educational supplies. The Global Citizen puts the lack of learning
materials which includes lack of materials for teachers to prepare their lesson
notes as the fourth barrier to education around the world.
In
the months of February and March 2017, KIR Foundation supported the six primary
schools and the IDP camps with three hundred and
ninety (390) books and educational supplies.
KIR
Foundation is currently raising funds for a project in Northern Nigeria through
the GlobalGiving platform for donors in diaspora; https://globalgiving.org/projects/educate-270-children-in-northern-nigeria.
Kindly support us in Nigeria by donating through; Keeping It Real Found.

The management of the primary schools thanked KIR Foundation for the
support and emphasized the great need for educational support for children in
rural communities in Northern Nigeria.
