Projects

The Flags Project

The Flags Project was conceived by Curo Ten Nig. Ltd and supported by the Foundation. It aims to place the Nigerian and Lagos State flags in all public primary and secondary schools in Lagos State. The Flags Project is particularly concerned with instilling leadership qualities in, and sensitizing, the children and youths of these schools to the values of good citizenship and national pride.

The Toy Box Project

The Toy Box Project was conceived by the Foundation to bring joy to children in orphanages in Lagos State. The Foundation gives toys or organizes Christmas parties for these children so that they know they are not forgotten at special times of the year.

The Tool Box Project

The Tool Box Project was conceived by the Foundation to assist Lagos State Technical College graduates who wish to become self-employed by gifting them toolboxes. This initiative also supports the State Government’s efforts to create entrepreneurs and focus on youths becoming self-employed through skill acquisition and entrepreneurship training. Every year the Foundation gifts 100 toolboxes to deserving graduates to help them on their way to becoming self-employed.

The Internship Project

The Internship Project was conceived by the Foundation to assist graduates of tertiary institutions who are yet to be fully employed or are waiting to start a professional course to keep themselves busy by interning with the Foundation. With us, they conduct research, learn office etiquette, and assist on all projects. This training helps them in their future careers to remain focused, goal-oriented, and diligent, and prepares them for mainstream work life.

Our Chosen Youth Project

The Our Chosen Youth Project was conceived by the Foundation as an initiative to support foundations and causes founded by young people who are giving back to the most vulnerable in our society. The Foundation selects these young social philanthropists whose work involves children and young people in particular and gives them publicity, exposure, and a grant towards their work.

The Support Our Schools Project

The Support Our Schools Project was conceived by the Foundation to address the infrastructural needs of schools in Lagos State and work with manufacturers of building and construction materials, building technology professionals, and other well-meaning sponsors to help refurbish/upgrade public schools.

Facilities

Book Bank

The book bank aims to assist less privileged students with books and textbooks donated by friends of the foundation.

Library

There are three in-house libraries:

Main library – all secondary and tertiary students have access to this library. There is a wide selection of stocked books, including educational, motivational, and all genres of novels.
Junior Library – for our younger students in primary school. It is a colourful and quiet space where they can read and let their imaginations run free.
E-Library – There are computers and internet access to assist students with projects, research, and publications.
