The InnerCity Mission for Children has commissioned its 11th tuition-free school for vulnerable children In Ewu Community, Edo state.

The mission, under the auspices of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International, commissioned the largest School within its network of Schools earlier this month.

According to the Executive Director, Pastor Omoh Alabi, the InnerCity Mission’s Network of Schools provides quality, tuition-free education, along with free scholastic supplies and School Meals all through the primary education journey of the pupils enrolled.

She stated, “The InnerCity Mission School, Ewu, is a representation of the continued commitment of its Founder- Rev Dr Chris Oyakhilome to education, community development, and nation-building,”

Pastor Omoh Alabi emphasized that through this newly commissioned school, the foundation is giving the children in Edo a platform, equipping them with tools that would help them grow to become adults who will be actively involved in the development of their communities and nation.

“With our humanitarian footprints in over 89 countries Particularly in Nigeria, The InnerCity Mission under the auspices of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International has been working towards creating an enabling environment where every child survives, and lives above poverty irrespective of race, colour, religion, or gender. We are able to achieve this through our interconnected programs cutting across Education, Healthcare, Food, Livelihood, Shelter, Advocacy, and Humanitarian aid programs,” She added.

The mission, founded in 2006, has been serving communities in Nigeria and other African countries, and many in Asia.

Pastor Yemisi Kudenhinbu, on behalf of partners of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International, said, “In Nigeria, the number of children who are out of school remains unacceptably high.”

She added, “The InnerCity Mission School, Ewu is a representation of the continued commitment of Rev Dr Chris Oyakhilome to education, community development, and nation-building. Through this School, we are giving the children in Edo State a platform and equipping them with tools that would help them grow to become adults who will be actively involved in the development of their communities and nation.”

More than 2000 beneficiaries are on a full scholarship to complete their primary education in these schools.
