Our work
Where we work and what we run
Nine communities across Kontagora Emirate. Placement follows need, not convenience.
Communities we serve
Current need by community
We publish community-level need only. Individual schools, class schedules and children's details are never published — see our safeguarding policy.

Programs
Catch-up literacy and numeracy
Weekend and holiday classes for children who have been out of school for a year or more, taught in Hausa first.
Guest professional classes
One-off sessions by doctors, lawyers and engineers so children meet someone doing the work, not just reading about it.
Girls' continuation support
Targeted support at the primary-to-secondary transition, where most girls in the Emirate stop.
Teacher shadowing
Volunteers work alongside the existing school teacher rather than replacing them — no unsupervised contact during a first placement.
Community re-enrollment
Ward heads trace out-of-school children. We handle the classroom.
1. Ward listing
The ward head and school head jointly list children currently out of school.
2. Family visit
A female community volunteer visits each family, in Hausa, to agree a return date.
3. Placement
The child returns to the government school; our volunteer supports the class for a full term.
