Quality Education solution to cycle of poverty and inequality in society - Moma Cares Foundation

A non-governmental organisation, Moma Cares Foundation, has said quality education is the solution to the cycle of poverty and inequality in society.

A statement by the NGO explained that for this reason, it would sponsor 100 indigent children to graduate level.

Founder of the NGO,  Mr Monday Ebosede, said,  “Education is very important in breaking the cycle of poverty and inequality in our society.

“Nobody is useless. It is only a lack of opportunity that makes kids on the streets appear useless to society. I don’t feel happy when I see young people out there going through what I went through as a young boy. But as God will have it, when I got into JSS 2, I won a scholarship that then saw me through my secondary school. I am now eager to do the same for other children who require similar support.”

He emphasised that the foundation was created to empower individuals and communities by providing access to quality formal education, skills acquisition, funds for small businesses, and support for orphans and widows as well as other distressed persons in society.

Ebosede, who is the co-founder and Executive Director of Sentinel Resources and Capital Investment Ltd., revealed that a total of 18 people had benefited from the foundation’s generosity, adding that four students, three of whom were in secondary school and one in the university, were under the full scholarship of the foundation.

“Five persons are currently being sponsored in skills acquisition; the foundation is determined to grant opportunities to children that cannot afford education, whether they have parents or not.

The statement revealed that proceeds from a book titled, ‘Grass to Grace’’ authored by Ebosede, would be used to sponsor the course of Moma Cares Foundation.
