1.7 Why the company was started

According to the global data by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO, over 240 million children and youth between ages of 6 and 18 worldwide are denied access to education. 98 million of them are found in sub-Saharan Africa; and Nigeria alone accounts for 20 million out -of-school children. The female adult literacy rate is lowest in Africa with Nigeria having the school attendance duration averaging 4.2 years. The point is not just education but quality, equitable and inclusive education. In developing countries, the disparity in education is what reinforces the inequality in economy. In other words, illiteracy breeds poverty.

In the age of information dissemination and era of technological advancement the modern world presents with the challenges of misinformation and half-education, unemployment and widespread insecurity, wars and natural disasters, pollution and environmental degradation, corruption and criminal indictments, immorality and juvenile delinquency, illiteracy and low school enrollment, epidemics and low life expectancy, poverty and low gross national income.   Â

In tackling these emerging global challenges and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs the founder of Growing Wings Chidi Anaenye acknowledges the need to renew the virtues of character development, re-inculcate the values of human capital, revive the culture of verse readership, reform the contents of academic curricula and recreate the scheme of community works.Â

Growing Wings emerges as the proverbial child born out of necessity to confront the challenges of growth in this day and age, to promote global peace, security and prosperity, and to lead the march for freedom. We lead the campaign for quality, equitable and wholesome education. We clamour for increased domestic and foreign investment cum funding for education. We monitor the implementation of government policies and fulfillment of their budgetary pledges for education. Invariably, we are enjoined into a public-private partnership for transformative education.       Â
