In a heartwarming move that aligns perfectly with our core mission at Hope For Indigent Persons, we are proud to announce a ₦2.3 million donation to Ganaka International School in Jos North Local Government Area, Plateau State. This generous support will enable the Reverend Sisters running the school to establish a poultry farm — a vital step toward long-term self-sustenance for an institution dedicated to caring for some of Nigeria’s most vulnerable children.
At Hope For Indigent Persons, we don’t just provide immediate relief. We invest in sustainable solutions that break the cycle of poverty. Whether it’s seed funding for individuals or institutional projects like this one, our goal is to create lasting dignity and independence for indigent families, mothers, and children. This poultry farm initiative is a shining example of that vision in action.
About Ganaka International School
Ganaka International School (also known as Ganaka International School for Inclusive Education) is a private special needs institution located behind St. Mulumba’s College in Jos, Plateau State (P.O. Box 915). Founded around 2005, it serves as a beacon of hope for children with cognitive impairments, visual impairments, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, and other special needs.
Run by the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus (HHCJ) Reverend Sisters — including dedicated leaders like Sr. Callista Umeh — the school provides inclusive and specialized education in a compassionate, faith-driven environment. It has become a recognized center for special education in Nigeria, with academic research highlighting innovative tools like the abacus for visually impaired pupils and assistive technologies that help children thrive despite their challenges.
These Reverend Sisters work tirelessly to educate, nurture, and empower children who are often overlooked by society. Yet, like many mission-driven special schools, they face ongoing financial pressures to keep the doors open and the lights on.
How the ₦2.3 Million Donation Will Make a Difference
Our donation will directly fund the setup of a poultry farm on the school grounds. This isn’t just about chickens and eggs — it’s about creating a reliable, self-generating source of income to:
- Support daily operations and feeding of the children
- Reduce dependency on unpredictable donations
- Provide practical vocational training opportunities for older students
- Ensure the Reverend Sisters can focus more on education and care rather than constant fundraising
In line with our work at Hope For Indigent Persons — where we’ve seen seed funding transform individual lives — this project will help the school achieve greater financial stability while continuing its vital service to Plateau State’s indigent special-needs community.
A Shared Commitment to the Vulnerable
This partnership reflects what we stand for: dignity over dependency. By supporting institutions that serve the poorest and most marginalized — especially children with disabilities from struggling families — we’re investing in a brighter, more inclusive Nigeria.
We are deeply grateful to our donors and partners who made this possible. Your contributions are changing lives in real, measurable ways.
Together, we can do more. If you’d like to join us in supporting projects like this — or help more indigent children, mothers, and special-needs institutions — visit hopeforindigentpersons.com to donate, partner, or learn more.
Every naira counts. Every life transformed matters.
