Our uniform projects focus on ensuring that every pupil has access to a proper school uniform. The Uniform Mending Project was inspired by our weekly visits to schools where we teach computer skills and oversee book clubs. During our visits, we noticed that many pupils had badly damaged uniforms.

Having spent over 24,000 hours of classes with an average of 600 learners in 10 schools, we observed that there is a connection between the appearance of a child and their performance in the classroom. When a child appears neat and well-dressed, he/she is more likely to be confident, ready, and productive in class. Undoubtedly, the appearance of a child impacts their learning experience.

The first was a 2-days exercise in February 2021 at Oba Adeniyi Sonariwo Primary School and the second project was extended to four (4) other beneficiary schools: St Columcille’s Primary School, and Wesley primary school, Oko II, St.Paul’s primary school, Alagbo, and African Church primary school, Ijokun. The children were very happy to have their uniforms mended and the teachers expressed their gratitude as well.
