10. It is an estate of shanties built on the citys dump yard.
Thousands of people now inhabit the area. The area was a swamp and
a food plain. In the estate, inhabitants build shacks erected with
wooden planks, zinc roofing sheets and polythene to protect the
structure from water. People rent the shanks for N500 to N600 per
month. There are no toilet facilities, the inhabitants defecate in
the open, pit toilets are used by high end residents.
11. The Eden Team selected education amongst all social issues
listed fundamentally because imperatively every kid and generation
should have its roots in platforms that over values, knowledge
e.t.c Most kids in this community attend informal schools owned and
operated by educated/semi-educated adults. We believe that by
grooming these kids in their forming years to be educationally
sound, the next generations hopes stands a better chance of
experiencing changes. The team together with other youth volunteers
would implement a dynamic curriculum of fun and learning and over
time would spread out to other areas like Information Technology,
Basic Recycling processes and the likes as undeniably some of the
wastes in this area could be used again.
