Makoko school Project
2021 Ground visit
The School
As a celebration of our 5th year anniversary, MD has embarked on a project to build a primary school in the Makoko area of Lagos State, Nigeria.
Makoko is a floating slum in Lagos, Nigeria with a population estimated to be over 150,000. Makoko is a neighborhood across the 3rd Mainland Bridge located on the coast of mainland Lagos. A third of the community is built on stilts along the lagoon and the rest is on the land (Wikipedia).
Impact goal
Majestic Daughters goal is to impact at least 50 - 120 children per year from primary one through primary 5.
Empower, local artisans especially women. Local women will be engaged in the whole process from start to finish.
Local women will be vetted and hired as teachers of the school. Majestic daughters will continuously provide oversight of management and support for the school with salaries, school supplies and books
Land & Building
The chief ruler of the area has given majestic Daughters a land to build a school for the community's children. This school will replace the currently broken down and dilapidated (see picture) building in the locality.
Majestic Daughters' goal is to complete this building. This Building will hold four (4) classrooms, two (2) teacher's offices, and One (1) storage room. Boards, furnishings and supplies.
