Our Creating Lasting Impact Year Service Projects
Creating Impact In Basic Education and Literacy
A Joint Basic Education and Literacy Project With Rotaract District 9111: Every Child Deserves a Chance to Learn
Education is more than being in a classroom. It is about having access to the right learning tools, receiving the right support, and having the opportunity to grow, thrive, and reach one’s full potential.
In line with Rotary International’s areas of focus, Rotaract District 9111 and the Rotary Club of Ikeja G.R.A. announced a Joint Basic Education and Literacy Project designed to promote learning, encourage youth participation, and support access to educational resources.
The project was scheduled and held on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, at the Rotary Centre, 8 Ladoke Akintola Street, Ikeja G.R.A., Lagos.
Project Highlights
The initiative featured two key activities:
Interact Panel Session: An opportunity for young people to participate in meaningful conversations, share perspectives, and engage with issues relating to education, literacy, and their roles in building stronger communities.
Distribution of Educational Materials: Support through educational materials intended to help learners access essential resources for their educational journey.
These activities reflect the importance of combining learning opportunities with practical support. By encouraging young people to participate in conversations about education while helping provide learning materials, the project seeks to reinforce the value of literacy and community involvement.
Partnerships:
The project also invited organisations, friends of service, and other well-meaning individuals to support the initiative and contribute to its educational objectives.
Partnership is essential to creating opportunities that extend beyond individual efforts. When service organisations, communities, and supporters work together, they can help advance access to education and encourage more children and young people to pursue their potential.
Working Together for Lasting Impact
The collaboration between Rotaract District 9111 and the Rotary Club of Ikeja G.R.A. reflects a shared commitment to education, literacy, youth development, and community service.
Every child deserves the chance to learn, and every contribution towards that opportunity matters. Through initiatives such as this joint project, the participating organisations reaffirm the importance of investing in education as a foundation for a stronger and more hopeful future.
Together, let us invest in learning. Together, let us create lasting impact.

Our Other Rotary Service Projects
Our Signature Project: School in a Bag
Equipping Young Minds Today, Empowering Future Leaders Tomorrow.
One of the Rotary Club of Ikeja GRA’s most impactful and enduring initiatives is our annual School in a Bag project. Through this signature programme, we provide school bags, textbooks, exercise books, writing materials, and other essential learning resources to underprivileged pupils, helping to improve access to quality education and support academic success.
What makes this project particularly special is its sustainability and continuity. Since its inception, every President of the Rotary Club of Ikeja GRA has embraced and delivered the School in a Bag project as part of their service year, ensuring that its impact continues to reach new generations of schoolchildren.
Over the years, thousands of pupils have benefited from this initiative, receiving the tools and encouragement needed to pursue their education with confidence and dignity.
As a flagship project of our Club, School in a Bag reflects our unwavering commitment to Basic Education and Literacy, one of Rotary International’s Areas of Focus. It is a legacy project that has become part of the identity of Rotary Club of Ikeja GRA and will continue to be sustained and expanded by future Club leaders as we create lasting impact in our communities.
Solar-Powered Borehole and WASH Project – Army Children School, Ikeja
Bringing Clean Water Closer to Every Child, One Community at a Time.
Access to clean water is fundamental to health, education, and dignity. For many years, pupils and staff of Army Children School faced significant challenges due to the lack of a reliable water supply. From the school’s inception, children had to walk considerable distances from their classrooms to fetch water for drinking, sanitation, and use in the school’s bathroom facilities.
In response to this critical need, the Rotary Club of Ikeja GRA, under the leadership of the Irresistible President, Rotarian Chinedum Amachi, implemented a Solar-Powered Borehole and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Project as part of the 2024–2025 Rotary International theme, The Magic of Rotary, sponsored in part by District Grant ( Rotary Foundation)
Our Irresistible District Governor, Dr. Oluwole Kukoyi, His Wife and Core team and Entourage from District 9111 Commissioned this project on May 15, 2025, the project provides a sustainable source of clean water powered by renewable energy, significantly improving access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities for pupils, teachers, and the wider school community.
This intervention has enhanced the learning environment, improved hygiene standards, reduced the burden on children who previously spent valuable time fetching water, and contributed to better health and educational outcomes.
The Solar-Powered Borehole and WASH Project stands as a testament to Rotary Club of Ikeja GRA’s commitment to creating lasting impact through sustainable community development and service above self.
Rotary Club of Ikeja GRA donated a fully furnished 36-bed caregiver quarter (Caregivers’ Quarters) to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
The facility was officially commissioned during Hope Year, by the District Governor Rotarian Ifenyinwa Ijezie and our Hope Year President, Engr. Adeyemi Adesina to provide relatives of hospitalized patients a decent, affordable place to rest, shower, and sleep, preventing them from sleeping in cars or on bare hospital floors.
The project cost an estimated ₦65 million and features separate male and female wings. According to LASUTH management, this addition makes LASUTH the first public hospital in Lagos State with dedicated accommodation for patients’ relatives
