RETECH Foundation recently organised a successful Paint Your School (PYS) initiative at Essi College I, Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. The PYS program will improve the quality of education for over 1,500 beneficiaries who will be taught in the enhanced learning environment over the next 3 to 4 years. The program engaged 50 SS1 students at the school, who actively participated in painting selected classrooms, guided by paint instructors, RETECH Foundation champions, and schoolteachers. This experience fostered teamwork, leadership skills, and instilled a sense of responsibility for maintaining the school’s facilities.
We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Federal Republic of Germany Consulate General for funding this project. Additionally, we would like to express our profound gratitude to the devoted RETECH Foundation champions in Delta State especially Chinedu Ikemefuna for anchoring this event. We also thank the Director of Schools and the Permanent Secretary of the Delta State Ministry of Education for approving the program.
Furthermore, we want to acknowledge and thank the management and teachers at Essi College I.
