Leaving no-one Behind
The Cuppy Foundation partnered with the Street to School Initiative to improve the schooling experience for vulnerable children in Lagos, Nigeria.
Our work focused on the provision of school meals whilst raising awareness of mental health and personal hygiene.
Studies have found that there are around 14 million children between 5 - 14 years old in Nigeria involved in street hawking and other economic activities which take them away from attending school.
Research has also uncovered that students who are unable to have nutritious meals before and during school have an increased likelihood of not finishing both primary and secondary school.
