Tackling Nigeria’s Out-of-School Children Crisis: How Hosanna David Foundation Is Bringing Hope Back to Classrooms
Nigeria faces a deep education emergency: millions of children are out of school. Through the Train-A-Child Scholarship Programme, Hosanna David Foundation (HDF) provides full scholarships, community coordination, and continuous mentoring to return vulnerable children to school and keep them learning.
📌 8.1 million children are out of school at the junior secondary level
📌 12.4 million have never attended school at all
Delta State: specific secondary attendance data limited
Why the crisis persists
Multiple factors keep children out of school: poverty, lack of inclusive support for children with disabilities, pressures on single-parent homes, and weak community monitoring that allows quiet dropouts to go unnoticed.
HDF’s holistic response
Hosanna David Foundation’s Train-A-Child Scholarship Programme is a community-focused intervention that blends financial support with local coordination to achieve lasting results.
- Full scholarships: school fees, uniforms, textbooks, and essentials covered for eligible children.
- Community coordination: volunteer teachers and local leaders identify children, link them to schools, and monitor progress.
- Disability support: prostheses and orthotic services ensure children with mobility challenges can attend school without barriers.
- Mentorship & follow-up: ongoing emotional and educational support to keep children engaged.
Impact — one life at a time
Each child returned to school is a future restored. Families report relief and renewed hope when the burdens of school costs are lifted. Many beneficiaries supported since 2022 are now performing well and acting as role models in their communities.
