Our pilot project includes providing educational materials especially to teachers and needy students in Nigeria. The simple tools necessary to create an effective learning environment are absent in many classrooms. The schools cannot provide them and the children cannot afford to buy them. The lack of classroom resources not only impedes learning but also contributes to lack of challenge.
  It is the intention of the Nigerian Women Association Of Hampton Roads Virginia to augment the Government's effort to educate our children. The list of much needed items for the children and there teachers may be long but not unaffordable to many of us here. They include -textbooks,notebooks, pens, pencils,  notebooks, pens, pencils,chalk,softwares, and computers.
  The materials will be distributed to schools in both rural and urban areas through a Non Governmental Organization (NGO'S) in the country that would have a list of schools in need. Our goal is to establish a non-profit educational supply center in the country from where items will be distributed to needy schools.
  Our children deserve our support. We appeal to you all to support us so that we can give them the support they need and deserve. Quoting UNICEF "There is much evidence that education has a determinate role in the right of children and has a direct bearing on their health and economic future"
  Help us to supprt our children so that they can have a future filled with hope and fulfillment, and not a future filled with hopelessness anger and violence.
