Distribution of Writing Materials
Equipping children with everyday essentials for learning
public schools in Okuku
60-leaf notebooks per child
distribution reported by GIPSED
Access to education includes having the materials needed to participate in lessons. For families facing financial hardship, providing notebooks and other school supplies adds to the cost of keeping children in school.
Through its distribution of writing materials, GIPSED helps equip pupils and students for classroom learning while reducing some of the expense borne by their families.
The 2023 distribution in Okuku
In 2023, GIPSED, in partnership with FLORYCOM Foundation, distributed notebooks to every pupil in four public primary schools and every student in two public secondary schools in Okuku, Odo-Otin LGA.
Each child received two 60-leaf notebooks for schoolwork. The distribution covered all pupils and students in the six participating schools, extending support beyond those enrolled in GIPSED’s scholarship programmes.

Supporting everyday learning
Notebooks provide space for lesson notes, exercises and assignments. By supplying these materials, GIPSED and FLORYCOM Foundation helped children participate in daily schoolwork and supported families with education expenses.
This intervention complements GIPSED’s scholarships, examination sponsorship and teacher recruitment programme, addressing another part of what children need to learn.
