Great teachers do not stop learning. They learn, share, collaborate, and grow alongside others.

This July, we celebrate Akinbowale Mary Temitayo of Oyo State as our FoundaMENTA Teacher of the Month.

A teacher of Yoruba Language and Literature, Mary has consistently shown what it means to be an active member of the FoundaMENTA Community of Practice. From showing up for webinars to sharing useful resources with fellow educators, she continues to contribute to a community built on learning from and supporting one another.

Her participation goes beyond simply being present. She brings her own knowledge to the conversation, learns from others, and helps create a space where educators can exchange ideas and strengthen their practice.

We celebrate Mary for her commitment to continuous learning, collaboration, and the growth of the teaching community.

Here’s to educators who keep learning so they can keep making a difference.

Child marriage is one of the barriers we cannot ignore when we talk about keeping girls in school.

With millions of Nigerian girls still out of school, the issue is not only getting girls into classrooms. It is also about what happens when social and cultural expectations begin to push them out. In parts of Northern Nigeria, girls face overlapping barriers including child marriage, poverty, insecurity, and gender-based violence, making it harder for them to attend, remain in school, and continue learning.

What more can we do to make sure getting girls into school also means helping them stay? Share your thoughts with us.

Our partnership with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to deliver Experience AI across Northern Nigeria is gaining attention in the media and we are excited to see this important conversation reaching wider audiences.

For us, this is more than teaching young people how AI works. It is about ensuring that where a learner is born, the community they come from, or the challenges they face does not determine whether they get to understand, question, create with, and shape the technologies defining their future.

We are grateful to the media for amplifying this milestone and helping us take the message further.

AI literacy should not be a privilege. It should be an opportunity available to every learner.

At AREAi, we believe that young people may grow up in different contexts, but their aspirations should never be limited by the circumstances they inherit.

This International Youth Day, we asked the Humans of AREAi to reflect on what young people need to thrive, beyond the classroom, within their communities, and in the decisions that shape their futures.

From the support young people need to the changes we want to see from governments, communities and organisations, their responses point to one shared conviction: young people deserve more than inclusion in conversations about their future. They deserve to help shape it.

Because different contexts may call for different solutions, but every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, thrive, contribute and build a future they can believe in.

This is what “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations” means to us.

Happy International Youth Day, from all of us at AREAi

Young people may share common aspirations, but the opportunities available to pursue them are far from equal.

Globally, 273 million children and young people are still out of school, with the greatest barriers concentrated among those living in poverty, conflict-affected settings and other underserved communities.

Behind that number are young people with ambitions that are no different from anyone else’s: to learn, grow, work, contribute and build better futures.

Different contexts demand different solutions. But the aspiration for opportunity is universal.

What will it take to ensure that where a young person is born does not determine how far they can go?

What does it really take to build technology that responds to real learning needs?

For Prosper Omachonu, it starts with asking the right questions.

In this conversation, our AI Engineer shares what drives his work at AREAi and how he thinks about the intersection of technology, data, and education.

Watch the video and tell us: what role do you think technology should play in improving how children learn?

If you had to improve access to education, where would you start?

Getting children into school is not always as simple as providing a classroom. Cost, distance, safety, family responsibilities, and the condition of the school can all determine whether a child gets the chance to attend and learn.

In this carousel, we share where we would start based on what we see in our work with schools and communities.

A new week always brings a fresh opportunity to reset, refocus, and recommit to the work that matters.

Today’s meeting was a reminder that progress is built daily, through consistency, discipline, and a clear sense of purpose. The goals are set, the direction is clear, and the responsibility is shared.

This week is another chance to push boundaries, think deeper, and act with intention. The impact we seek will come from the effort we invest, one step at a time.

Let’s move into the week with clarity, energy, and a strong commitment to excellence.

Happy New Week from the .

It’s 👋

Meet Ifeoluwa Adewole, (Ifeoluwa ), our Programmes and Innovations Manager for the Getting Girls Equal (GGE) Programme at AREAi.

Ifeoluwa works at the intersection of girls’ education, gender equity, and policy, designing and managing programmes that address the barriers limiting girls’ access to education and opportunity. Through stakeholder engagement, research, and MEAL, she helps ensure that interventions are not only well implemented but also grounded in evidence and responsive to real needs.

At AREAi, she leads efforts within the Getting Girls Equal Programme to expand access, strengthen systems, and drive outcomes that support girls in staying in school, learning, and transitioning into opportunities beyond the classroom.

She holds a B.Sc. and Master of Public Health (MPH) and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. She also has professional certifications in Gender and Development (Policy Innovation Centre), DHIS2, and CITI Program certifications in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), Research Ethics, Research with Vulnerable Populations, Conflicts of Interest, and Data Privacy.

Her work at AREAi exemplifies a strong commitment to building inclusive education systems where every girl has the chance to thrive well.
