Where to Give

Where to Give (All 36 States in Nigeria and it's Local Government Areas)

Looking for a place to do a charitable deed? Browse every state, drill into its local government areas and see the government primary and secondary schools on record there — over 67,000 nationwide — then tell us where you would like to help with books, uniforms, meals or repairs.

Only government (public) primary and secondary schools are listed; private schools are excluded. Records are sourced from public Nigerian education data (GRID3 / NMIS). No published phone or email contacts exist for these schools, so we confirm each one with the local education authority before any donation or visit is arranged.

OUR MEDIUM TERM GOALS

The impact we are working to make.

With the support of donors, volunteers, and partners, we are building a foundation to reach vulnerable children with education, feed hungry families, empower unemployed youth, provide relief to displaced communities, and stand with inmates through prison visitation, bail support, and legal aid.

Our first project

As part of our commitment to restoring hope, promoting justice, and supporting vulnerable members of society.

Identify and collect information on inmates who remain in custody solely because they are unable to perfect the conditions of their bail.

2

Gather details of inmates who have been sentenced to pay fines but are unable to afford them, with the aim of assessing cases where assistance may be possible.

3

Provide food items, toiletries, clothing, and other essential relief materials to inmates to support their welfare and dignity.

4

Engage with correctional authorities to better understand areas where meaningful humanitarian support can be provided.

We warmly invite individuals, corporate organizations, faith-based groups, and development partners to support this outreach through donations, sponsorship, or the provision of relief materials.
