We are charity, charity is what we do, steem helping hands is just beginning, as long as the blockchain remain so does our urge to impact lives and communities increase.

This time, we are setting out to into another slum community in Lagos state, the purpose of this survey is to checkout the level of poverty in this community and how we can make an impact, as it came to our notice that the community primary school in sagbokoji needs urgent attention, as this school has left in an impaired state due to the fact that the government who built it is no longer in power, sagbokoji primary school is the only government school in this community and it has been sadly left to disintegrate.

The poor state of sagbokoji

Sagbokoji is a rustic community, inside our own mega city of lagos, surrounded by blackish water, sagbokoji is so close to the popular CMS market in lagos and apapa, which is just 15minutes boat ride from there, yet this community is literarily far for any form of civilization as they lack every form good things that come from this modern age including electricity, and proper water supply, it was said that a past government provided them with solar panels years back, which is obviously dead now.

As our team arrives on the shore of the community, there where many pigs that we wondered if we where getting a pig welcome, at the same time there was a whole lot of children roaming around and some hawking during school hours, quite strange, to crown it all the first few people we tried communicating with didn't understand English language "Damn where on earth is this place" we later realised that this community was dominated majorly by people from Benin republic "wow a mini Egun community I'm Lagos" then we understood what it was.

we were not alone

Yes this survey was accompanied by team members of @wafrica and @surfyogi the founder of @wafrica.

We made our way to the primary school, and guess what? majority of the students where out during school hours.

We were welcomed by the head teacher of the school who was already notified of our visit, she made us understand that the students where outside for the following reasons:

1. They have just teachers that is shuffled between each classroom.

2. the pupils lack chairs and they have to move the classes with available chairs when its their turn for lectures.

Now we get it, that situation was inevitable, the head teacher is pleading for support for our support, for the following:

* Chairs: If the proper number of chairs are provided the students can sit in their classes and study.

* Floor repairs: the floors are broken and not convenient for the kids to study

Pillars repair: This pillar is so weak and it might collapse anytime soon.

* Roof repair: the roofs are leaking, the pupils cannot learn once it rains.

* Electricity: Steem helping hands is already in contact with REESAFRICA their project deals on provision electricity for communities and slums.

We are pleading with the Steemit community to support us so we can help this school regain it's stand and help secure the future of this pupils.
