Prudential Zenith Life Insurance has donated the sum of One Hundred
\nThousand United States Dollars (US$100,000) to Slum2School Africa to
\nhelp combat the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education in
\ndisadvantaged communities in Nigeria. The donation was made through a
\nCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Fund from the Prudence Foundation,
\nthe community investment arm of Prudential Plc in Asia and Africa.<\/p>\n
Slum2School Africa is a leading volunteer-driven developmental
\norganisation, transforming society by empowering underprivileged
\nchildren in slums and remote communities with quality education,
\nentrepreneurial skills, and psychosocial support to enable them to
\nrealise their full potential and become social reformers.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the presentation of the cheque, the Managing
\nDirector\/CEO, Prudential Zenith Life Insurance Limited, Mr. Chuks
\nIgumbor said that: \u201cOur contribution to Slum2School\u2019s activities
\ndemonstrates our corporate social responsibility action plan which is
\ntargeted towards communities most in need of the support we provide.\u201d He
\nnoted further that \u201cthe Coronavirus pandemic has impacted all aspects of
\nour lives including the education sector, with a steep widening of
\neducation inequality as children and youths from underprivileged
\ncommunities are unable to access the learning materials that students
\nfrom affluent backgrounds are able to access. The strategic partnership
\nbetween Prudential Zenith Life and Slum2School, therefore, aims to
\nbridge this gap and engage learners from Nursery to Senior Secondary
\nSchool across twenty slums and communities in Lagos State.\u201d<\/p>\n
The $100,000 donation will be used to procure 300 tablets with internet
\nconnections, 34 laptops for Slum2School facilitators, 34 whiteboards,
\nmarkers, and board eraser sets, state-of-the-art learning studio for
\n50-90 pupils per session, stationery for students, as well as learning
\nprograms and software. In addition to the cash donation, relief
\nfoodstuff was also provided to less privileged families within the
\nidentified communities to assist in these trying times.<\/p>\n
