Rochas foundation colleges are schools established by Rochas okorocha that trains children of the poorest of the poor in the best standard of education for free.
Imo was one of 11 states that has benefited from the benevolence since 2001 when the program started with 20,000 students nationwide and over 6000 already graduates accross the country.
All the governments in states where Rochas foundation schools were sited donated the lands for the building of the schools
E.g
