Description


The Learning Support Project provides essential school supplies—exercise books, pens, mathematical sets, school uniforms, and school bags—to underserved students to reduce barriers to attendance and enhance learning. The project prioritizes girls and vulnerable learners, procures locally to support small businesses, and integrates distribution with community outreach and parent/teacher orientation.


Implementation Plan


·         Phase 1 – Beneficiary Identification (Month 1): Work with PTAs, headteachers and DEOs to identify needy students and collect baseline attendance/achievement data.

·         Phase 2 – Procurement (Month 2): Procure exercise books, pens, math sets, uniforms and school bags from vetted local suppliers; ensure quality and appropriate sizing.

·         Phase 3 – Distribution Events (Months 3–4): Organize school-based distribution events timed before term starts; include short orientation for parents and teachers.

·         Phase 4 – Follow-up Monitoring (Months 5–8): Track attendance and basic learning outcomes at 3 and 6 months; collect beneficiary feedback and document case studies.
