NuWay Programs
Education Enhancement
Current Activities
NuWay Foundation has funded the hiring of five additional teaching interns to augment the teaching efforts of the science curriculum, which is not being taught due to a lack of teachers. The program started in May 2007 and is ongoing. NuWay will continue this program augmenting the teaching staff in rural schools.
Future Activities
NuWay plans to assist the village schools by providing teaching aids, equipment and materials. In addition, NuWay is developing scholarship opportunities for local residents, as well as U.S. residents, who are in need of financial assistance for their education.
Community Building
Current Activities
Water has been a major issue in Nigeria. The lack of clean drinking water has been linked to a number of diseases that plague families in the rural communities NuWay Foundation has been working to fight diseases by providing clean drinking water for the community through funding the drilling of clean water stations. Thus far, NuWay has commissioned the drilling of four boreholes throughout the village to create clean water stations for village residents. Three of the water stations are now up and running, with the fourth one is under construction.
Future Activities
NuWay plans to continue providing clean water stations for residents through drilling more bore holes in strategic locations of the village.
NuWay also hopes to improve the village's existing health center by providing medical supplies, equipment and medicine.
Facility
Nuway's overall plan is to build a facility in the village, which will become our base of operation. We will organize purposeful life changing trips from the U.S. to Nigeria, so donors can see where their support is going and also get a chance to utilize their professional expertise for the greater good.
The first phase of the facility, the Dormitories Project, is currently in the planning stage, with the groundbreaking scheduled for Spring 2008.
