PROJECT IT-fy

PROJECT EDU-SUPPORT This project introduces highly talented international students from the top universities in the

world with leadership experience and international perspective to do an internship in

Nigerian primary (Elementary) Schools during a period 6-12 weeks. During this period,

volunteers would be supporting in specific teaching and support teaching capacity. Volunteers

would be able to connect with kids and use their personal experience to facilitate specific

learning to the kids.

activities.

SPECIAL (SUPPORTING) PROJECT

PROJECT SMILE: This is a community development project which is focusing on helping children

living with cleft lip and cleft palate deformity, in getting the corrective surgery needed in

correcting this deformity. The power of a SMILE can never be overstated. So therefore, we also

aim at putting a “good smile” on the faces of the people faced with this concern. A cleft lip or

palate can be successfully treated with surgery, especially so if conducted soon after birth or in

early childhood AND together with our partner, SMILE TRAIN and AIM AFRICA we would be

facilitating a free surgical operation for affected people + orientation program for people in the

target community in other to control future occurrence.
