<p>Prudential Zenith Life Insurance has donated the sum of $100,000 to Slum2School Africa.</p>



<p>The fund is to help combat the impact of the<a href="http://www.punchng.com"> COVID-19</a> on education in disadvantaged communities in Nigeria. It is part of its <a href="https://openlife.ng/">Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR</a>. Foundation.</p>



<p><strong>Prudent Foundation</strong> is the community investment arm of Prudential Plc in Asia and Africa.</p>



<p><a href="https://openlife.ng/">Slum2School Africa</a> is a leading volunteer-driven developmental organisation, transforming society by empowering underprivileged children.</p>



<p>The empowerment focuses slums and remote communities with quality education, entrepreneurial skills and psychosocial support.</p>



<p>It aims to enable them  ;realise their full potential and become social reformers. ;</p>



<p>Speaking during the presentation of the cheque, the Managing Director-CEO, Prudential Zenith Life Insurance Limited, <a href="https://openlife.ng/">Mr. Chuks Igumbor</a> said:</p>



<p>“Our contribution to Slum2School’s activities demonstrates our corporate social responsibility action plan which is targets communities most in need of the support we provide.”</p>



<p> He noted further that “the <a href="http://www.guardian.ng">Coronavirus pandemic</a> has impacted all aspects of life.</p>



<p>This includes the education sector with a widening inequality. Children and youths from underprivileged communities are unable to access the learning materials that students from affluent backgrounds are able to access.</p>



<p>The strategic partnership between Prudential Zenith Life and Slum2School, therefore, aims to bridge this gap. And also engages learners from Nursery to Senior Secondary School across twenty slums and communities in Lagos State.”</p>



<p>The <a href="https://openlife.ng/">$100,000 donation</a> will be used to procure 300 tablets with internet connections, 34 laptops for Slum2School facilitators, 34 whiteboards, markers and board eraser sets, state-of-the-art learning studio for 50-90 pupils per session, stationery for students, as well as learning programs and software.</p>



<p> In addition to the donation, less privileged families were provided with relief foodstuff within the identified communities. The essence is to assist in these trying times.</p>
