In October 2024, the King Koko Foundation, under its Education Support Initiative, undertook a humanitarian intervention at St. Luke’s Primary School, Nembe, by donating 100 chairs and tables to the school. The decision came after a needs-assessment visit revealed the heartbreaking reality that pupils were sitting on the bare floor to learn. Many children used their laps as writing surfaces, while others squatted on dusty classroom floors; conditions that were not only physically uncomfortable but also deeply undignified for young learners.

Education remains a cornerstone of community empowerment and a pathway to lasting development. Every desk delivered to St. Luke’s was more than wood and nails, it symbolized an investment in the future of the Nembe child and a reaffirmation that every child deserves the right to learn in safety, comfort, and dignity.

This project forms part of a broader Foundation commitment to strengthen educational infrastructure across the Niger Delta, focusing on rural and underserved communities.
