HSDF Free School’s mission

“To create world-changers through the power of high-quality free education, love in action, and humble service.”
We focus on nursery and primary school pupils to impact these children through early intervention education


Helpers Foundation School’s Principles

Helpers Foundation schools will provide an excellent education to all students, regardless of their gender or demographics, so that they can become skilled and active future change agents in their communities. Teachers and parents will work together to ensure that students at the primary school develop rigorous critical thinking skills, and core values, and acquire enduring understandings of how to exercise appropriately.


Our school Plan: Our plan is to construct classroom blocks to enroll orphans and less privileged children who did not have the opportunity to go to school. We plan to buy plots of land to expand our school by constructing classroom blocks to enroll more pupils this will help us to be the original owner of the land with our school name. In the near future, we plan to construct secondary school blocks to ensure that the graduated pupils from primary school complete their secondary school education.


The Problem Nigeria project report:

Nigeria is among the top five nations in the world for out-of-school children of primary school age. Even more, 34% of children drop out of school before upper-primary school. Due to a lack of access, affordability, and awareness, children in rural areas are unable to receive the education to escape poverty. Unfortunately, this has a disproportionate impact on women and girls. More than 50 percent of girls fail to enroll in school, and those who do are likely to drop out by the age of 12. As a result, these children lack the skills to break the cycle of poverty.

In the communities where HSDF works, we have observed poor school infrastructure, child marriage, lack of teachers’ motivation by the Government, poor sanitation and hygiene, sex exploitation, and felt realities of the students, lack of vocational training, and low social standing of women. These are common obstacles to realizing the full potential that education can provide in Nigeria.


Your support for this cause will help us to achieve our goals in underserve communities.
