A Raji Special School, Yakubu Muhazu Junior Secondary School and Labo Dogo Daji Junior Secondary school) in Sokoto state metropolis.

The independent team of the New Being Foundation carried out the physical evaluation of these school children and took their measurements. The school uniform materials and shoe sizes measurements were collected and purchased newly, and the organisation supervised the sowing to meet the school standards.
