Oasis Lessons

Location: Nigeria

Oasis lessons is a non-formal educational initiative. We are a group of young teachers whose mission is targeted mostly at reaching the underprivileged. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we started teaching on WhatsApp, since this is the commonest means of online interaction in my community. Our classes have been attended by several school students across Nigeria. In the first month of teaching, we taught over 250 secondary schools’ students for free including those in graduating classes. Our challenges include obtaining good devices for teachers to effectively prepare and deliver class lessons.

Support

Our required budget for this project is $10,000. We are planning on fundraising on Facebook and other social media channels. We are reaching out to altruistic individuals and organisations, saying what we do and telling them the success stories of our students.

Other needs: Volunteers, Space for online convenings (e.g. GoToMeeting)
