Riverwood Switch Foundation
THE RIVERWOOD SWITCH FOUNDATION The Riverwood Switch Foundation is a youth driven non-governmental organization designed and set up to provide indigent children access to basic education. It started in June 2017 with a group of undergraduates contributing part of their feeding allowances to help kids living in slums and rural communities get education. While in their final year, these students started their outreach by rehabilitating a classroom in a local primary school in the deep bushes of Ado Ekiti.
They have evolved from being a group into an organization of over 40 members with more than 80% being students across various Universities in Nigeria. These young Nigerian students have embarked on various educational projects which include providing uniforms for 50 pupils who come from underprivileged background. This was done in collaboration with The Destiny Trust Foundation which enrolled these children at the Lagos Model Primary School, Lekki, Lagos. Currently, The Riverwood Switch Foundation has enrolled 27 children living in the Makoko Slums into school. These are children living in shanties on Makoko waters, which prior to the scholarship couldn’t read or write and had no form of formal education.
