Group enrols 178 out-of-school children and supports displaced women

A group has enrolled 178 out-of-school children and empowered 60 displaced women, according to a report by Premium Times Nigeria. The figures describe two strands of the organisation’s intervention: helping children who were not attending school and supporting displaced women. The supplied material does not identify the group, the location of the programme or when the beneficiaries were enrolled or assisted.

The organisation said the intervention was “just the first step” in a process aimed at empowering the affected families. It added that it planned to expand the work when more funds became available. The statement indicates that funding is a factor in the group’s ability to increase the programme’s reach.

However, the available report does not say how much money has been raised, what services the women received or how the children will be supported in school. It also does not provide details about the displacement experienced by the women, the children’s ages or the group’s plans for expansion. No response from beneficiaries or public authorities was included in the supplied material.
