What We Do

Educate A Child (EAC) is a global program of the Nigeria Youth Congress Osun state chapter Above All organization projects that was launched in 2022 with the aim of making significant differences in the lives of children who have no access to primary education ¹. Through partnership and innovation, EAC has helped thousands of out-of-school children (OOSC) all over the state overcome the access and retention barriers blocking their path to education ¹. By playing a leadership role in the field of OOSC and quality primary education, EAC strives to achieve individual and social outcomes for these children and their communities, resulting in a more sustainable world for everyone ¹. EAC has helped enroll more than 10.4 million out-of-school children into quality primary education ¹.

In addition, NYC has led a consortium of national and international organizations across the state that have partnered with EAC to implement the Programme, or Access to Education for All Children in Osun state project. NYC is working to ensure access to quality education for nearly 500,000 vulnerable out-of-school children in the state through alternative educational strategies, such as mobile schools for children in nomadic communities and accelerated-learning programs for older students. In addition, this joint project supports teacher training, the provision of instructional materials, parental engagement, and improved school management capacity .
