Aid for Rural Education Access Initiative (AREAi) is a for-purpose grassroots initiative that works with and in under-resourced schools and marginalized communities, providing technical and infrastructural support to scale learning outcomes and drive tangible academic achievement for poor and vulnerable children and youth from low-income families. Leveraging innovation, collaboration and technology, the organization designs and implements quality alternative and accelerated learning programs for children, particularly girls and women, that are not in education, employment and training (NEET). Most prominently, through educational programming that focuses on girl’s education, digital equity and foundational learning, AREAi promotes the development of cognitive, foundational, digital, techni- cal and vocational skills that transform at-risk youth, vulnerable children and marginalized girls into active, productive and engaged members of their communities. Since 2014, the organization has enabled over 25,047 beneficiaries across 43 communities in 15 states to access higher education and attain self-reliance through increased employability skills.

It’s ! 👋

Meet Deborah Binuyo (Lade Binuyo), a Visual Communication Officer at Aid for Rural Education Access Initiative (AREAi).

With over seven years of experience in presentation design, visual storytelling, and communication design, Deborah specialises in turning complex information into clear, engaging visuals. Her work spans pitch decks, business presentations, reports, and other communication materials that help people understand information quickly and effectively.

She holds a degree from the Federal University of Technology, Akure, alongside professional training in design. At AREAi, she brings her expertise to the education space, helping translate ideas and information into visuals that communicate clearly and connect with different audiences.

Beyond design, Deborah is interested in how people interact with information. She believes effective communication is not just about what you say, but also how people experience it.

When she’s not working on presentations or communication materials, you’ll find her exploring design and fashion or training aspiring designers.

We’re glad to have Deborah on the team, bringing ideas to life through thoughtful visual communication. 💚

This week in Maiduguri, we trained 162 teachers and community educators to become Experience AI facilitators. Many of them teach in IDP camps, community learning centres and schools with little or no internet.

The results speak for themselves:
- The share of teachers who feel ready to teach AI almost doubled, from about half to more than 9 in 10
- 96% said the training boosted their knowledge and confidence to teach AI
- 96% rated it high quality and useful for the classroom

The biggest jump? Teachers' confidence to talk with young people about fairness and bias in AI, which is exactly what learners need to use AI wisely.

Every child deserves to understand the technology shaping their future, wherever they learn. These facilitators will now carry Experience AI into classrooms across Borno State.

Next stop: Abuja, Makurdi and Yobe.

6 years on gender programming in the field, and here are 12 lessons on what it really takes to advance girls' rights.

Our work across gender-responsive education, digital rights and inclusion, and GBV prevention and response across Oyo, Kaduna, Benue, Kano, Kwara and Nassarawa has taught us that good intentions aren't enough. Real change for girls means listening first, designing for their realities and measuring what actually shifts in their lives. Behind each slide is a hard-won lesson about what it takes to move from reach to real change. For funders and implementers, they point to where investment matters most: in trust, safety, local capacity and evidence that outlasts any single programme cycle.

Swipe through all 12 insights 👉

To our partners, funders and fellow advocates: these lessons are an invitation. Let's build programmes that last, so that every girl can learn, connect and lead safely, on her own terms.

Is Oyo State’s Education Budget Doing Enough to Address Girls’ Educational Needs?

Building on the conversations around gender-responsive budgeting, Part 2 of our reflections highlights more perspectives from Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) across Oyo State on the current education budget and its implications for girls’ education.

From examining budgetary allocations to identifying gaps and opportunities, the discussions provided valuable insights into how public resources can better address the barriers girls face in accessing, remaining in, and completing their education.

Through the .0 programme, participants reflected on key lessons, shared their observations, and explored ways to strengthen accountability and ensure that education budgeting responds to the realities and needs of girls.

These conversations continue to inform advocacy efforts aimed at promoting a more inclusive, equitable, and gender-responsive education budget in Oyo State.

What does it take to move education innovation forward?

Ideas that respond to real challenges. People willing to test what’s possible. And an ecosystem that helps promising solutions go further.

At the Future of Education in Nigeria Summit, our Innovation Showcase brought five education solutions into the conversation, spanning foundational learning assessment, girls’ retention, offline learning, education data and teacher support.

Each solution is at a different stage, but all speak to the need for approaches that respond to the realities of Nigeria’s education system.

The next step is to build the connections between innovators, educators, policymakers, funders and other stakeholders that can help these solutions grow and reach the learners who need them.

Maiduguri was the starting point. Now, Experience AI continues in ABUJA. 📍

Following the completion of our first Facilitators Training in Maiduguri, we’re taking the next step in Abuja on 16th & 17th October.

This time, 171 facilitators will gain the knowledge and practical, classroom-ready resources to teach AI literacy, helping more children understand how AI works and use it responsibly.

One training completed. Another city. More educators preparing to bring AI literacy into the classroom. 🚀

Experience AI is here, and this is only the beginning. 🚀

With the launch behind us, the work ahead is what excites us most.

Together with the Raspberry Pi Foundation (), we’re working towards training 450 facilitators to reach 16,000 children across Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and the FCT.

It’s an opportunity to bring AI education closer to more learners and equip the people supporting them with the skills and confidence to explore what AI can make possible.

Our Global Executive Director, Prince Gideon Seun Olanrewaju (), shares what the launch means and what comes next.

We’re excited about what lies ahead. Watch this space as we take the next steps towards bringing AI education to more children across Nigeria.
