Philanthropist and TV personality, Faith Morey through her Okachi Charity Foundation has renovated classroom blocks at LEA Nursery and Primary School, Zhigakuchi Village, Mpape, Abuja, giving pupils in the underserved community a safe space to learn.
Okachi Charity Foundation funded the full renovation of a classroom block, which included new roofing, structural rebuilding, installation of doors, windows, desks, whiteboards, painting, and ventilation repairs.
The project became necessary after heavy rains left the school’s structures unsafe.

Morey said the decision to rebuild rather than patch repairs was about restoring dignity. “A child’s environment is their first teacher. Infrastructure is not a luxury; it is a statement of worth,” she noted.
The renovation is the first phase of a broader commitment that will see all three classroom blocks rehabilitated, water and toilet systems installed, and a playground constructed.
The foundation also plans to bring in volunteer teachers and partner with education authorities for sustainability.
With this intervention, pupils of Zhigakuchi Village now have renewed hope of learning in a conducive environment.
