The Foundation’s mantra is “Securing the future of tomorrow’s leaders’ and the foundation hopes that the interaction with the children will be a life-long journey to the point where the beneficiaries of the foundation today become mentors and sponsor other children in future to ensure the sustainability of the vision.
A cheque of N5 million was presented to the SACTS foundation with an assurance of continuous support towards the education of the beneficiaries. The Chief Operating Officer of SACTS, Mrs Nike Richie-Ogbodu, received the donation and in her remarks said, “I am deeply grateful to Canary Foundation for coming through at the time that funds were needed to support the children.
“The resultant effect of the pandemic made it hard for the beneficiaries who are late starters to get an education. On our part we will ensure that the children get all the motivation they need to excel”
