Abuja, the Nigerian federal capitol is a modern and well organized city. The same cannot be said of the villages ringing the capitol, where many who work in Abuja live.

Nor are there schools in many of these villages. Edu-vision International Services (EIS) provides qualitative education for children from less privileged rural communities in the Abuja region.

In one such village, Gwako, EIS built a primary school (2004) for 300 children, followed by a secondary school. These schools established by EIS for the targeted communities also provide adult literacy classes, primarily for the village women, as well as train local teachers and provide them with employment.

EIS also operates two vocational training centers in Zaria and Udil for Vasico Vaginal Fistula patients (VVF).

Vocational Centers for Vesico Vaginal Fistula patients

Since Edu-vision International Services was set up in 2001, we have extended our services to other states in Nigeria. The practices and way of life of Nigerians in the north part of the country are quite primitive.

Adult Literacy and Vocational Training

The people living in these villages are very poor, the majority being Gwari farmers. Others are settlers from different parts of the country seeking to gain employment in Abuja city. Most of these people live in deplorable conditions.

Gratitude for children’s sponsored education

The following is a letter dictated to us by a thankful mother who has two children in our school, which reveals the extreme difficulties faced by many families here.

New School Desks

Thanks to a grant from Family Care Foundation and other sources, we were able to purchase 120 school desks for the children and 15 teachers’ tables and chairs for our school project.

EIS Primary and Secondary School Education Program

To further our goal of concentrating on primary education in the Abuja region, we have targeted four local villages: Gwagwalada, Gwako, Kashanfa and Gosaone.
