Background: Igboedu Community Primary school is located in Ogun state in Nigeria and was established in 1981. Before construction, only 117 students attended the school from four small camps. An estimated 480 students were out of school in the area. The existing school structures at Igboedu were in terrible shape and do not conform to construction regulations. Now that the classroom block is complete, we are so excited to see the impact this school has on the surrounding communities!
