The Grande Finale…but we are just getting started!
Today, Create that Change Development Initiative (CCDI), in partnership with the Swiss Embassy in Nigeria, commissioned a new 8-stall toilet facility and a refurbished library at LEA Primary School, Sheretti, Abuja.
The project marks the completion of the first phase of CCDI’s Public-School Revival Initiative (PSRI) — an ambitious effort to improve hygiene standards, restore dignity, and promote inclusive learning environments in public primary schools across the Federal Capital Territory.
Under this first phase, CCDI successfully implemented several school infrastructure upgrades, including:
• Construction of two 8-stall toilet facilities at LEA Primary School, Kabusa and LEA Nomadic Primary School, Apo Dutsen.
• Refurbishment and equipping of libraries at LEA Primary School Phase III and LEA Pilot Science Primary School, both in Gwagwalada.
• Major renovation of a 12-stall toilet block at LEA Primary School Phase III, Gwagwalada.
• Completion of an 8-stall toilet facility and refurbishment and equipping of a library at LEA Primary School, Sheretti.
“Access to clean toilets is a basic right, not a luxury,” said Mrs. Sharon Ayeni, Executive Director of CCDI. “Libraries open doors to knowledge and brighter futures. We are deeply grateful to Mr. Siamak Rouhani, Deputy Head of Mission at the Swiss Embassy, and to the Embassy for their steadfast partnership in uplifting schools that need it most.”
The initiative aligns with Nigeria’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) agenda and supports national efforts to improve health, dignity, and learning outcomes for children in underserved communities.
As CCDI looks ahead to future phases of the Public-School Revival Initiative, the organisation is calling on development partners, the private sector, and well-meaning individuals to join hands in expanding this transformative work to more public schools within the FCT and beyond.
