✨ Back to School Support by IDEE ✨📚

Education remains the strongest foundation for national development. As students return to school, the Initiative for Education and Development (IDEE) is proud to support families through its Back to School Program.

This initiative is designed to ease the burden on parents and empower students with the essential materials they need to learn, grow, and succeed. From school supplies to encouragement and mentorship, IDEE is committed to ensuring that no child is left behind.

When we invest in education, we invest in a brighter, stronger future for our communities.
Together, let’s equip our children not just for school but for success. Wisdom International School of Excellence - WISE

Empowering Students for National Development

The future of our nation lies in the hands of bold thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and determined young leaders.
Through the IDEES Student of the Year, the Initiative for Education and Development (IDEE) is celebrating brilliance, innovation, and excellence in our schools.

For the past decade, Back to School has been about more than school supplies or fees, it has been about real children, real families, and real dreams.

At Initiative for Education and Development (IDEE), we have seen firsthand how steady support can change a child’s path and restore hope to families. What may seem small can make a lifelong difference.

BTS is promoting educational equity.
The programme is helping to build a more equitable, accessible, and inclusive educational model, one that gives every child a fair opportunity to thrive and achieve a brighter future.

We are grateful to everyone who has supported this journey over the years. Your partnership and belief in our mission continue to create lasting impact.

The journey continues and together, we are building brighter futures.

At Initiative for Education and Development (IDEE), Back to School (BTS) is more than a programme, it is a commitment to giving every child a fair chance at quality education.

For a decade, with the support of partners like Ford Foundation, Wisdom International School of Excellence (WISE), and Wisdom Iwopin, we have worked together to remove barriers and open doors for students.

Today, as our beneficiaries move closer to higher education, we remain focused on sustainability, mentorship, and long-term impact.

The journey continues and every partnership, every share, and every act of support makes a difference.

10 years ago, we started Back to School (BTS) with a simple goal to help children stay in school and believe in their future.

Today, we are proud of how far we have come. Over the years, BTS has supported many students, giving them the opportunity to learn, grow, and prepare for what comes next.

But the journey is not over, as these students move towards higher education, they still need our support. We are inviting you to come along with us to help sustain the Back to School initiative and continue building brighter futures together.

Every child deserves a chance. And together, we can make sure that chance becomes a reality.
