The Stellar Initiative (TSI), a non-governmental organization, will teach one million students on drug misuse and distribute five million pieces of stationery to students in poor communities in Benin, Kano, Oyo, Enugu, Kogi, and other states.
This will be accomplished through its April 5th-launched Book Tour and Movie Show endeavor.

The effort will use the film “Nimbe” to teach students about drug usage, bullying, and self-esteem, among other topics.

Precious Eniayekan, the organization’s lead volunteer and founder, stated the effort will benefit students in low-income communities.

“According to UNICEF studies, Nigeria has one out of every five out-of-school children in the world,” she stated. This indicates to us that an immediate intervention in the education system is required.

Regardless of their financial means or geographic location, every Nigerian child has the right to a good education.

“Sadly, many communities continue to degrade due to several blue factors, ranging from economic downturn to financial instability, to lack of security and lots more. Raising children in communities like this, without proper care, will not only hurt the child, but ultimately deprive Nigeria of building a sustainable nation. It is therefore important to pay closer attention to how children are raised in disadvantaged communities.

“Having launched this project at Ijero Baptist Primary School, Ebutte Meta, and received positive feedback, we believe that expanding our reach to other regions is a step in the right direction towards instilling the kinds of character, beliefs, and support every child should have.

The Stellar Initiative is a non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being, development, and progress of rural children.
