COAL Newsletter, March 2026
Hello,
Because of you, something awesome has happened.
As of 29th March, we’ve raised $5,100.32, which unlocked an extra $5,000 in matching funds from the New Africa Fund. That’s $10,100.32 (~₦13.9M) now going directly to accelerate quality education for more children in low resourced communities in Nigeria and will help keep creative spaces open for more young people.
This came from 60 donations across 8 countries, with most of the support coming from the Global South. For our very first fundraising campaign, that means a lot, it goes to show the possibility of fundraising locally.
We’ve got one day left to the end of the campaign
If you’ve been meaning to give or tell a friend about this campaign, this is the moment. One more push could take us further than we planned. Give if you can. Share if you can’t. Either way, help us finish strong.
- Share the campaign. A quick message in your WhatsApp groups, social media, or among friends can multiply our reach. People want to support work that matters, they just need someone they trust to point them in the right direction.

Thank you for your trust in us and the people we serve.
Best wishes, From all of us at COAL
