The Education Crisis
The broken education and poor social system make it difficult for children in Nigeria to receive an excellent education.
In Nigeria, where half the population is under 19, 56% of school students lack basic numeracy and literacy skills.
Most students don’t have the social-emotional skills needed to navigate life and access job opportunities.
Teachers in schools don’t have the support they need to drive academic and non-academic excellence.
Poor learning outcomes contribute to poverty and slow the overall development of a country.
Our Vision
One day, every Nigerian child will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.
Our Theory of Change
Meaningful change happens when we cultivate a collective force of leaders. Driven by the vision of an equitable Nigeria that helps every citizen to realize their full potential, our leaders choose education as the path to get there.
20,000 Leaders
Over the next decade, we aim to build a movement of 20,000 leaders. They’ll work closely with local communities to transform the lives of 1,000,000 children a year throughout Nigeria.
Our Impact
Our students, fellows and alumni have a huge impact.
