“Gwagware Foundation is carrying out its humanitarian activities with donations collected from individuals and corporate organisations,” Musawa said.
Musawa further explained that the foundation’s efforts go beyond education, saying that it encompasses empowerment support for women and youth to establish various businesses.
“In an innovative approach to sustainable development, each child in the program will receive three economic tree seedlings to plant.
“This initiative aims to generate future income and address environmental challenges simultaneously,” Musawa added.
Also speaking, the state Coordinator of the Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment, Dr. Mustapha Shehu, discussed the programme’s performance, benefits, and achievements as he donated 10,000 school bags containing uniforms, exercise books, and Abayas for girls.
