Our work
We support education at the grassroots in Nigeria and work with young creatives across Africa. Our programmes connect foundational learning, literature, creative development and advocacy, building on the skills and ideas already present in communities.
Children and community educators
We work with local organisations to help out-of-school and underserved children build the reading, maths and digital skills they need to keep learning.
Young people and the arts
We help young writers, artists and performers develop their skills, find audiences and use their work to contribute to social change.
Evidence, stories and public conversation
We work with communities, creatives and partners to bring important issues into public discussion, including access to education and preventing avoidable deaths.
For organisations
We enhance institutional capacity by providing services to private and development sector organisations. Every service we deliver and every revenue earned is directly invested in grassroots education and youth development in Africa.
