In what was a three-day project, the clever minds educational foundation and over 100 volunteers took to the slums of warri Delta State Nigeria to distribute Clothes, shoes and toys donated by kind-hearted individuals from all over Nigeria. These clothes were collected at the various collection centres in warri and also received via courier from across Nigeria. The team of volunteers took time to wash, sort and repack the clothes into beautiful boxes with the name of each child on each of the box. Clothes, toys and shoes pack in a box we termed ‘BOXES OF HOPE.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic Lockdown in March 2020 clever minds educational foundation started free community mentoring/free lessons in the slums of warri to bridge the educational gap created by the pandemic. Once every week the team at clever minds educational foundation alongside its volunteer community teachers, mentors and gives face mask, food and sanitary items to over 1500 children in the three communities we work.

The founder of CleverMinds Educational Foundation, Mr Zion oshiobugie who was formerly a domestic help shared the reason why he embarked on this project as he also suffered lack of clothes and poverty growing up and he has always wanted to give hope to kids in the slums as they represent where he came from. Mr ZionOshiobugie has always charged young change-makers in Delta state, Nigeria and the world to also do the same in their communities, spread love not hate, spread JOY, not sorrow, give HOPE to every child in poverty because when you give clothes to them you cover their shame.
