The philanthropic efforts of the Faizal and Shabana Foundation transformed the Government LP School at Kadalundi Nagaram into a campus with state-of-the-art facilities in coastal Vallikkunnu panchayat.
The foundation spent over ₹1 crore to uplift the primary school, making it a model for other government schools along the coast.
Unveiling the renovated facilities on Monday (February 17), Faizal Kottikollon and his wife Shabana expressed happiness in supporting the revitalisation of the school. “We have been working towards bridging the educational gap and creating an inclusive and nurturing environment where underprivileged students can thrive,” they said. They added that better facilities would inspire confidence in students and help unlock their highest potential.
Mr. Kottikollon and Ms. Shabana, chairperson and vice chairperson of Dubai-based KEF Holdings, are the founders of the Faizal and Shabana Foundation. Their Prism project had lifted Government Vocational Higher Secondary School for Girls, Nadakkavu, Kozhikode, to a world class level in 2013.
The foundation has since undertaken several school projects in backward areas, giving infrastructural boost by introducing better facilities.
The renovated fisheries school has well-designed learning spaces, a vibrant playground, an art room, a library, and modern dining facilities. Additional amenities include a park for children, an open-air theatre, and spacious parking facilities.
P. Abdul Hameed, MLA, inaugurated the function. Vallikkunnu panchayat president A. Shailaja presided over the event.
