Partnerships are crucial to our goal of empowering and enriching the youth.

There is no such thing as too many hands! As long as you are equally committed to our mission of increasing equal access to quality education and enriching the youth through literature, creative writing, debates and arts, we would love to work with you! 

Beyond providing just books for our select schools, we intend to build functional library units for each project. Where possible and as needed, we aim to facilitate the renovation of classrooms, training of teachers and provision of school supplies, in order to create a conducive learning environment for the children at our select schools, and enhance the quality of education received.

How You Can Partner

 

CONDUCT BOOK DRIVE

Currently, we collect books in Lagos and London. We are however looking to expand, and conduct book drives in other parts of the world in order to increase the amount of resources we can make available to the Nigerian youth. We collect most* types of books, irrespective of disciplinary, publication date and educational level.

LOGISTICS

We collect books from Diaspora with the aim of shipping the books to our office in Lagos, and subsequently, distributing the different communities across Nigeria. We are looking to partner with global logistics company, and interstate transportation service providers in Nigeria. Alternatively, you can fund our logistical procedure.

BUILD A LIBRARY

Beyond providing just books for our select schools, we intend to build functional library units for each project. Where possible and as needed, we aim to facilitate the renovation of classrooms and provision of school supplies, in order to create a conducive learning environment for the children at our select schools.

SPONSOR TRAINING OF TEACHERS

Books and resources set the foundation, great teachers set the structure. Thus, the quality of teaching is paramount to the effective learning and development of students. By providing training programs for the teachers at our select schools, we are able to enhance the quality of education received, and increase the success rate of the students.

The weekend is the perfect time to read this stirring essay by @eclectictope. . “When I first arrive Oxford, a crippling fear of being inadequate engulfs me for a long time. A feeling of not being nearly enough, almost there but not quite.” . Enjoy. #LinkInBio
Mood 💃 _ What are you looking forward to this weekend? _ We're happy to cozy up with a book.
Not only are we thrilled that this year’s #AkeFest will be in Lagos, we’re likewise ecstatic to have our founder, @TobiJaiyesimi, as a guest this year, moderating a panel on Travel Writing with @Noo.Saro.Wiwa, Zukiswa Wanner and Funmi of @TVPAdventures!

🚩Western Urhobo, Nigeria. _ From music to their stunning and detailed attire and food (Banga, Ukhodo), the Urhobo people are one of the richest (culturally) tribes in Nigeria. Known for their evergreen forests and oil (palm and crude) wealth, the people were initially referred to as “Sobo—being tributary to Benin” by colonial voyager, Dr. William Balfour Baikie, on discovering the (then) ‘untapped’ region. _ Image: Dynamic Africa/NNP.
✨✨ Happy 41st birthday to one of the most revered African authors and a prominent feminist figure: Ms Adichie! On this day, too, #Chimamanda shares an opinion piece on the perpetuity of conflict in Anglophone Cameroon and the historical marginalisation (of identities) of its people via @NYTimes. You can find this article and a good follow up article we published in 2017 on #Bakassi—the disputed territory enforced by colonial borders. _ Image: @Vulture.
One of our favourite poems from Marrow—a collection of poetry + prose by @hernameissutra. This work of art, which is bodied over faith, grief, joy, loss and self, is 151 pages of beautiful and healing. _ Purchase here: bit.ly/TBBNQ-Marrow ✨
