The story

DISCOD's first project: after a community needs assessment, 150 children in Namtari who wanted to attend school received learning materials and school uniforms.

In 2018, with support from AA Dealers Oil & Gas Nig. Ltd., DISCOD implemented an educational support initiative titled 'ILIMI JARI' in Namtari Village, Adamawa State.

A community needs assessment identified children who were willing to attend school but lacked essential learning materials and school uniforms. In response, DISCOD and AA Dealers Oil & Gas Nig. Ltd. distributed learning materials and school uniforms to 150 students.

The initiative encouraged school enrolment and attendance, reduced the financial burden on parents and guardians, and promoted access to education for children from underserved households.
