The March Accelerator is a crowdfunding campaign for nonprofits to raise funds for their projects; it took place between 13th March 2017 to March 31st, 2017. The KIR Foundation project on the platform is ‘Invest in the Education of 270 Children in Northern Nigeria’ - http://bit.ly/2nCjnmZ

One of the major barriers to school enrollment and retention in Northern Nigeria is the lack of educational supplies. This project will enable 270 primary school children in rural Northern Nigeria receive educational supplies in form of text books, school bags, exercise books, writing materials, storybooks and reading corners. Also, the project will provide teaching resources for the schools and its teachers.

You can use the ‘share’feature on the project page to email your network, or just bring us up in conversation. You know your friends and family best so use your own words - tell them why you chose our project and what it means to you.
