Resources for schools
Would you like your students to learn about their peers in Nigeria? We have a pack of lesson ideas and activities as well as fact files on the pre-schools we run and government run primary and secondary schools that we support.
Your school would then have the opportunity to fundraise to support our campaign to provide 150,000 school meals every single year to children attending pre-school. In addition, we provide the children with engaging and fun lessons in a safe learning environment.
Your fundraising could include a mufti day, bake sale or any other fundraising event you decide on, and for every £1 raised, a child in Nigeria receives an education and school meal for a week.
Get involved and access our resources below.
Reaching the most vulnerable children
Many children in Nigeria are orphans or live in extreme poverty and often struggle to find enough food to eat, let alone find the time to focus on their education.
All for only £1 a week per child.

Our sweet potato project means that they get a hot meal whenever they attend pre-school. This helps improve concentration, creates an incentive to attend pre-school, and reaches out to the most vulnerable children in the community by providing a benefit not only to their educational needs but also to their health. Each teacher is paid a small bonus for growing the sweet potatoes, which also helps to improve their own income.
