27% of Nigerian children are out of school. That's not an abstraction — it's an empty desk in a classroom near you. ICF is working to change that, one child at a time, with deliberate placement in safer communities and a dual-pathway model that meets every child where they are.

Who we walk for
The children behind the empty seats
Our 2026 campaign focuses on four groups most often pushed to the margins of education in Nigeria.
The girl child
Girls pushed out of school by poverty, early marriage, or family duties — the most displaced group in our context.
Almajiri kids
Children in informal Qur'anic education with limited access to formal schooling or a path to self-sufficiency.
Displaced children
Children in IDP camps and conflict-affected communities whose classrooms, safety, and routines have been stripped away.
Out-of-school adolescents
Young people who never started or were forced to stop — waiting for a seat, a scholarship, and a second chance to finish.
Three ways to give
Pick the arm that fits how you give
Every option leads to the same outcome: a child's seat filled. Choose the giving style that works for you.
Arm 1 · Everyday giving
Buy a school day
Break sponsorship into daily units. Give ₦500 and see exactly what it buys — one funded school day for one named child.
Arm 2 · Peer-to-peer
Donate your birthday
Ask friends and family to give to a child's education instead of sending you gifts. One supporter can reach 50+ new donors.

Do more with happiness
Promotion. New baby. Exam results. Convert your good news into a school day for a child who needs one.
Share your moment →Two pathways
Sponsorship that flexes around the child
Formal school isn't the only door we open. This year we introduce a second equally valid pathway — for children and families who need a different kind of start.
Pathway 1
Formal schooling
A classroom seat in a registered school — fees, uniforms, books, and daily meals covered so the only thing a child has to think about is learning.
Pathway 2
Skills & vocational training
For older children and those outside the formal system — a trade, an apprenticeship, and the literacy and numeracy that turn a skill into a livelihood.
