WE BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF EDUCATION.
WHAT WE DO
Our Projects
Regular Academic and Sports Awards events raise pride and hope for students and their teachers. In addition, The Benjamin & Esther Elesin Foundation engages in ongoing projects which benefit students, teachers, and the community at large.
Sports impacts and influences academic learning. Regular Sports Event Awards raise the sense of pride for students. We donate sports equipment where there are none, and sponsor sports events where we can recognize and reward student athletic achievements.
SPORTS EQUIPMENT FOR SCHOOLS IN NEED
Central to the Foundation's main thrust is to be able to impact learning and improve the quality of education where it is lacking. The Foundation is keenly interested in seeng the potential of students realized, encouraging them to find their voice, and seeing them excel. For some families the academic financial awards can represent an entire month's wage impacting them in ways that are meaningful.
AWARDS FOR ACADEMIC + sports EXCELLENCE
EXTRA CURRICULAR
EVENTS
Extracurricular events teach teamwork, collaboration, discipline and every possible virtue that can restore, upscale and direct the lives of these children and their generations to come.
​
Students engage in activities that suit their unique talents and passions, often finding the mentorship and training they need to reach their full potential.
HYGIENE HEALTH PRODUCTS
FOR GIRLS
Adolescent girls who find themselves without access to hygiene facilities in their schools, or who cannot access hygiene napkins financially, risk high monthly absenteeism from school, putting themselves at risk of dropping out altogether. Without an education, girls become vulnerable to poverty and violence.
​
Making it possible for girls to graduate, opens up opportunities for them to become leaders in the future.
​
Our hygiene kits include, soap, deodorant, and hygiene napkins.
An adolescent boy's hygiene needs are often overlooked. Access to basic self-care items improves their own state of mind and self-image, helping to instil the kind of confidence that is needed for them to become leaders in their future endeavours.
​
Our hygiene kits include, soap, deodorant, and shaving cream.

Special Projects
As well as the ongoing Projects we are committed to, we undertake special projects, raising funds separately to help these dreams to become reality..
The next project seeks to provide what is essential for students to learn in a global atmosphere of learning. Without the means of research on the internet, the students ability to be connected to necessary research tools and new global ideas and advancements, cannot be readily realized. Please join us in raising funds to make this a reality at the FGC Sokoto Highschool in Nigeria.
