Evolve, a non-profit organisation that focuses on girl-child education, and its lead partner, Polaris Bank, have restated their commitment to curbing global warming through intervention in girl-child education in Nigeria.

The managing director, Pacegate Limited, Mr Umesh Amarnani, said the Evolve programme, which was launched in 2020 to address the global challenge of climate change through the education of underprivileged girls, is designed to impact over 50,000 direct beneficiaries and 200,000 indirect beneficiaries in the next five years.

While noting that education and youth empowerment are the most significant indicators of social progress, Polaris Bank’s Group Head, Customer Experience Management & Sustainability, Bukola Oluyadi, restated the bank’s commitment to the success of the programme.

“Our commitment to these has been the drive for the empowerment of the girl-child and thus the partnership with Evolve. Since 2021, we have partnered with Evolve and adopted several schools across Nigeria to cater for the needs of the girl child,” he said.

General Manager (Operations) of Pacegate Limited and Project Manager for Evolve, Mr Godwin Ejeh, called on teachers to embrace a value-based and holistic approach to education so as to make a lasting impact on students.

He called on relevant stakeholders and other nongovernmental organisations to collaborate on the initiative so as to have a wider impact on the girl child.

Some of the students present at the event shared their experiences on how the support received from the organisation has not only helped their educational development but also their personal growth.
