Our PROGRAMS
Farm2Plate
This project is scaled down from our Farm-forward program. Our strategy is to introduce Agriculture into classrooms again in a practical way that helps the students who participate in our program understand the concept of food insecurity which is a global issue and the practical ways they can contribute to such global challenges with locally-led solutions.
Readers Accelerator Program (R.A.P)
In Nigeria, less than 6 per cent of children under age-5 have three or more children’s books at home (UNICEF, 2022). Foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) is really low at just 49% of children in school achieve basic proficiency in literacy and numeracy, respectively. Our goal is to increase that number by partnering with local schools to train teachers and providing exciting school resources through our mobile library.
Farm-Foward
Small farmholders in Nigeria have challenges getting access to micro-loans and a market for their produce; what we have done is identify this by bringing the market to them and providing micro-grants for scaling. Our program also offers these small farmholders training on the business side of running their farm, and new Agricultural practices and tools they can employ to drive efficiency.
Rural Leadership Bootcamp
Our teams of educators have carefully developed a set of curricula that advances leadership qualities in children who are from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. By applying the nontraditional approach to learning that includes dancing, sports, games, counselling, etc., we have been able to see these children take up more groundbreaking opportunities and go on to do great things in life regardless of the communities they come from. Our vision is to set them up for success using creative approaches
