Learning Is Worth 4x More Than Attendance
A child who spends 10 years in school but can't read earns almost nothing more than one who never attended. But a child who can read earns NGN 4.4 million more over a lifetime — same years, dramatically different life.

Boost in labor earnings
If schools delivered effective foundational learning, labor earnings would rise by 20%. A child who can actually read earns NGN 4.4 million more over a lifetime than one who sat in school the same years but can't.

Return on AI tutoring investment

Recoverable lost productivity
Nigeria currently loses $40 billion annually — 8% of GDP — from an under-educated workforce. Foundational skills programs can recover a significant share of this, generating returns that dwarf the investment.

Why I Started This
Growing up in Lagos, Nigeria, I attended my secondary school on a scholarship and a discount based on my mother's salary as a teacher. Sometimes my family didn't have food to eat.
On the way to school every day, I saw children my age hawking wares or fixing cars so their families could survive. I knew there was no difference between me and them. Without the grace of God and the extreme sacrifices of my parents, I would have been one of those kids.
Education gave me a way out. Now I want to extend the same opportunity to every child who didn't get one. If we can teach people across Africa to solve problems around them, we can set off a chain reaction of transformation across the continent.
