DELTA PIKIN SCHOOL INITIATIVE (DPSI)

The Delta Pikin School Initiative (DPSI) is our flagship annual project designed to advocate for and deliver access to quality education for children in the most underserved rural communities across all Local Government Areas in Delta State, Nigeria.

This initiative is a direct response to the alarming number of out-of-school children and the systemic barriers that prevent children in rural areas from accessing and completing basic education. Through DPSI, we provide holistic educational support and infrastructure, while actively working to enroll, retain and empower children—particularly those facing financial hardship or neglect.

Core Objectives of DPSI
1. Enrollment of Out-of-School Children: Mobilizing and enrolling children who are not attending school due to economic or social barriers.
2. Scholarships: Offering full educational scholarships across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
3. Educational Materials: Distributing essentials such as school uniforms, sandals, bags, textbooks, notebooks, and writing materials.
4. Free JAMB Forms: Supporting access to higher education by providing free registration for Nigeria’s university entrance examination.
5. Infrastructure and Amenities: Enhancing rural schools through:
• Provision of marker boards, desks, and chairs
• Renovation of dilapidated buildings, windows, and roofs
• Construction of new classroom blocks
• Advocacy for clean water and safe sanitation facilities


Why DPSI Matters
Education is a fundamental right and a critical driver of personal and national development. Yet, many children in rural areas face harsh realities:
• Poverty-stricken homes where even basic learning tools are a luxury
• Long treks barefooted to school
• Child labor or early responsibilities that keep them out of school
• Lack of parental awareness of the value of education

At Delta Pikin Initiative, we believe education is the most powerful weapon to break the cycle of poverty. It fosters critical thinking, builds economic resilience, and creates a future filled with opportunity and dignity.


Our Impact
Through DPSI, we are not just distributing materials — we are building a pathway to hope. By investing in a child’s education, we:
• Promote academic growth
• Improve learning outcomes
• Restore children’s confidence and dignity
• Protect their rights
• Strengthen rural communities from the ground up


This initiative is our long-term commitment to ensuring that every child, regardless of background, gets the chance to survive, thrive, and build a better future.
