We tackle the quality of learning crisis by partneri
ng with youth, schools, and governments to design and deliver education solutions that equip young people in Nigeria with the values and skills to lead themselves, overcome gender inequities, succeed in school, create change in their communities, and succeed in life. FAME believes that addressing one of the root causes of our problems in Africa which is the absence of well-educated and skilled leaders, which leaves the majority of young people, many in minority and marginalized groups, unemployed. By including an additional leadership and skills-based subject in secondary education, we can deliberately equip the next generation of youth with positive values and skills for the future to positively impact Africa’s economic growth and development. Our flagship programmes are FAME Global Leadership, FAME Lead, and Mentoring Support Services. We aim to provide skills-based education to one million students by 2030 and to encourage positive youth engagement that will have a sustainable and far-reaching impact on the lives of young people. Since 2017, we have partnered with the education ministries in Oyo, Osun, and Jigawa in Nigeria. Our efforts have had a measurable impact on nearly 40,000 students in over 200 schools, and we have reached an additional 80,000 more broadly. This makes us one of the largest providers of youth skills in Nigeria. FAME is committed to developing the leaders we wish we had in Nigeria, while also preparing youths to access dignified and fulfilling work after secondary school through the provision of high-quality secondary education and training. Our Alumni change their lives and communities, such as Covenant who opened a tech-driven education platform called Students on Linkedin which reaches thousands of undergraduate students monthly.
