Empowering Educators in Underserved Communities Today, the GPON team carried out an assessment at Nizzaniya Islamiyya Primary School in Anka LGA, Zamfara State to evaluate the current state of the schools, including student enrollment, classroom conditions, and other critical needs to create a conducive learning environment and enhance access to quality education for vulnerable children.

All selected individuals will undergo rigorous training and be equipped with the tools and strategies needed to deliver inclusive, high-quality education and support for the community’s children. Additionally, our team visited IDP camps in Anka, where many children still lack access to education. During these visits, we engaged with families to understand the barriers preventing children from attending school reaffirming our commitment to implement alternative learning opportunities. We are committed to shaping a brighter future for these children, ensuring no one is left behind in their educational journey.
