Transforming Lives Through Education
Education is the foundation for breaking the cycle of poverty. We remove barriers to learning and create pathways that enable children not only to access school, but to stay, learn, and succeed.
Education AccessSchool Enrolment and Back-to-School
We take children off the streets, out of slums, and from vulnerable environments and bring them back into school—but our work does not stop at enrolment.
Many children face challenges such as displacement and unstable living conditions, which make it difficult to remain in school or learn effectively. We address these barriers and provide continuous support to ensure children stay in school and make meaningful progress.
We focus on strengthening school retention and improving learning outcomes-helping children build foundational skills and succeed academically.
No child should be excluded from education—and every child in school should be supported to learn and thrive.
Accelerated Education
Millions of children aged 10–17 are unable to return to conventional schooling. They make up the largest group of children we encounter on the streets and in informal settlements.
Our Bridge Learning Centre provides accelerated education that helps them catch up on foundational literacy and numeracy, reintegrate into formal school at the appropriate level, or transition into skills-based pathways.
We deliver up to 9 years of basic education in 3 years, enabling over-aged children to recover lost learning and move forward with confidence.

Back2Basics — Literacy Catch-Up
Approximately 75% of children aged 7 to 14 in Nigeria cannot read with understanding, reflecting a deep learning crisis where only one in four children has basic foundational literacy.
Through our Back2Basics programme, we support children in upper primary classes to catch up on reading and writing using inclusive, play-based methods, while equipping teachers with the training and resources to improve classroom instruction.
Reading is the foundation of all learning—we are rebuilding that foundation.
Education Technology — OurSchool.Africa
We use technology to take learning to children—wherever they are. OurSchool.Africa delivers accessible, engaging, and personalised learning through offline-first digital solutions, including video lessons, animation, and interactive content.
From slums to remote communities to displacement camps, we are expanding access to quality education at scale and enabling children to learn at their own pace.
Learning, anywhere. For every child.
Empower Their Dreams
Scholarships
We provide scholarships from primary to university level for children from disadvantaged backgrounds—ensuring that poverty does not stand in their way.
Many of our beneficiaries are the first in their families to attend university. Through education, they become catalysts for change within their households and communities.
Our scholarship programme is central to breaking transgenerational poverty—empowering the next generation with the knowledge and skills to participate fully in social and economic life.
School Support
We strengthen under-resourced schools to improve the quality of education for children in underserved communities.
By improving infrastructure, supporting teacher capacity where gaps exist, providing learning materials, and expanding access to essential resources, we create environments where children can learn effectively and teachers can deliver better outcomes.
Stronger schools lead to stronger learning outcomes.
