We are excited to announce the launch of The Backpack Project, an initiative by The Iwukem Development Foundation (TIDF) aimed at supporting students in Iwukem village with essential school supplies. This project is designed to enhance the educational experience for young learners and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.
