Educational Resource Centre Update
Dr Imran’s recent trip to Ogbomosho, Nigeria, February 2022
The children from Ogbomosho study in dilapidated buildings, with no furniture, doors, windows turned into a makeshift school. HHE was formed to give children an opportunity to be educated and have a better start in life.
Educational Resource Centre
Technology is ever-changing and equipping today’s children for modern working life is an essential part of our aims. HHE has started fundraising to establish an Educational Resource Centre comprising:
A well-stocked public lending and reference library with reading rooms and an IT suite for local schools to access
Well-equipped, secure classrooms and science laboratories that schools can use on a rotational basis for lessons
In the future, a hall that can be used for multiple purposes including adult education and well-being classes, teacher training, prayer facility, sport, and community events
Classrooms and laboratories
One of our objectives is to include classroom and laboratory facilities within the centre for the use of local schools on a rotational basis to deliver practical lessons in those subjects that require specialist equipment.
School improvements
In the long term, HHE aims to support local schools through an improvement programme. This would include replacing missing windows and doors, providing secure storage for books and equipment, drilling boreholes to provide schools with fresh water and building sanitary blocks where required.
So far, we have:
Established an NGO registered with the Nigerian EFCC to facilitate the running of our projects in Nigeria
We are currently liaising with schools in Ogbomosho to identify their needs and how best we can serve them
Purchased land for HHE with foundations in progress. The dimensions are approximately 240 feet by 240 feet (73 metres by 73 metres)
