The Justice through Literacy foundation has taken a significant step towards bridging Nigeria’s rural-urban education gap by launching a six-week summer camp in Kwali, Abuja. The camp, themed “The Peace Camp,” provided intensive instruction in reading, writing, computer programming, and mathematical thinking to 20 children from low-income families.

As the foundation’s founder, Olohi John, noted, “They are our future. It is unfair for a child to be disadvantaged in the empowerment opportunities they can access simply because they live in a rural community.”

The camp’s impact was evident in the enthusiasm expressed by participants and parents alike. Mary Job, one of the young attendees, said, “Coming to the camp makes me happy. I love how I’m taught here. Thank you!

Parents also reported visible improvements in their children’s academic performance and confidence. One parent expressed gratitude, saying, “The camp encourages me personally. My son could hardly read before, but with the help of this program, I see great improvements. I am very grateful for that.”

The foundation awarded full or partial scholarships to 15 children to cover the rest of their elementary education. This initiative aims to address Nigeria’s alarming out-of-school children statistic, which currently stands at over 10.5 million.
