Jagaban Reaches Out to Mile 71 Community — Donates NLe 10,000 to Rebuild Evangelical Model School, Pledges Ongoing Support for Education

He pledged to support the development of an ultra-modern facility to provide a long-lasting, dignified learning environment for the children.

He further pledged ongoing financial and logistical support to ensure the project's successful completion and long-term sustainability.
Beyond infrastructure, Jagaban promised to provide essential learning materials, including textbooks, school uniforms, stationery, and classroom furniture.
