Like many schools in Ogun State and indeed, nationwide, Alaro Community High School had received no help from the government, relying instead on generous donations from interested individuals and organisations.

The only way to light the path at a child’s feet is to educate that child; feed a curious mind with learning, knowledge and ideas. Indeed, the only way that a nation can liberate itself from abject subjugation is through education and constant learning.

The school had purposed a classroom to be used as a library but other than a few shelves, the room lay empty, with the school producing students without a reading culture, students graduating with inquisitive minds but few answers. "It was a joy to be able to watch the students happily partake in changing their own destinies, joining in the arrangement of the shelves and books, their faces lighting up as they thumbed through books they’d previously heard of but never had the opportunity to read," Rachel Onamusi-Kpiasi, Director, PR, Media and Communications Take It Back movement, said in a statement announcing the completion of the project.
