About SEED Care & Support Foundation

Half of Nigeria's 200 million+ people are under 19 years. Many lack access to quality education. 20 million+ are out-of-school. 70% experiencing learning poverty. Evidence confirms that affordable non-state sector (low-fee private schools, faith-based schools, alternative learning centres, etc) play an indispensable role in expanding access to education and improving learning outcomes. Despite all of these, the sector is not fully supported in playing a complementary role to tackle these challenges towards achieving Nigeria's national education goals and SDG4. SEED Care and Support Foundation is a non-profit that supports the affordable non-state education sector to deliver access to quality education for all children by providing advocacy, evidence and a learning network. We envision a world where children no matter their background have access to quality education to thrive & succeed. SEED works with critical partners, role-players and stakeholders in the education ecosystem to transform the lives of children in Nigeria. How? Advocacy Hub: We amplify the role of the sector highlighting the need for a seat at the policy table and for a conducive operating environment. We go further to strengthen state and national education systems, working with others to shape policy for system wide change. Evidence Lab: We design, pilot, monitor and adapt innovations, models, concepts and frameworks to local contexts for learning and scale. We then use evidence generated to mobilize and persuade strategic actors to pay attention to the affordable non-state sector. Learning Network: We strengthen and grow the affordable non-state sector to enhance the quality of education they offer. We achieve this through our collaborative community, school transformation program, finance, communities of practice and curated learning experiences. Our target? Impact 20,000 affordable non-state schools/centres towards transforming the lives of 1 million children across Nigeria by 2035.
