Faveremit Empowers 500 Osun Students with Free Learning Supplies
Faveremit gave out notebooks to over 500 kids in Osun as part of its efforts to support education in rural areas. The project reached three public schools and is part of a larger plan to give back. Keep reading to see how this simple gesture could change lives.
Faveremit, better known for money transfers and digital tools, has taken a different route lately. This time, the fintech firm dropped the screens and went straight to the chalkboards. Over 500 children in Osun now have new notebooks, thanks to a community effort that says more than any app ever could.
The giveaway happened in three public primary schools: LA1 and St. Peter’s in Esa-Oke, and DTTC in Ijebu-Jesa. This wasn’t a one-time thing either. It’s part of Faveremit’s second round of giving under the name Spreading Yuletide Love. The goal? Help rural kids stay in school and learn with dignity.
Gabriel Olusola, who leads the company, said it plainly. He believes change starts in classrooms, not in boardrooms.
“Every notebook is a chance to dream,” he said. “If even one child finds their voice through it, we’ve done something right.”
That might sound idealistic, but it’s hard to argue with the logic. Many of these kids barely have the basics. A new notebook might not seem like much, but it can mean one less thing to worry about. That matters.
Olusola also called on others to get involved—non-profits, private businesses, even everyday folks.
“We’re not just running an app,” he said. “We’re growing with the people who use it.”
This move into education isn’t a publicity stunt. It’s part of a larger plan to support young people where help is often slow to come. Faveremit is mostly known for things like virtual dollar cards, gift card exchange, and secure transfers, but it seems they’re serious about playing a part in the lives of regular Nigerians.
Time will tell how far they take it. But for now, 500 kids have a few more pages to write on. That’s a start.
