Catherine Adeh Foundation Supports 70 Pupils in Abuja

The Catherine Adeh Foundation has empowered 70 pupils and students in Kubwa, Abuja, with scholarships and educational materials to help them remain in school and alleviate challenges faced by disadvantaged children. The beneficiaries, selected from primary and secondary sections, received scholarships, school bags, sneakers, and exercise books.

Catherine Nwesi Adeh, the founder of the foundation, stated that her commitment to community service and experiences as a Rotarian inspired this initiative. She highlighted a transformative encounter with a polio survivor that strengthened her resolve to support vulnerable children.

Adeh expressed the foundation's intention to continue identifying children and communities where its resources can make a meaningful impact. She condemned the practice of keeping children out of school after being taken from their parents for household help, urging guardians to treat such children with the same care as their biological children.

Adeh emphasized that if guardians cannot provide proper care, they should not take children away from their parents.
