Bridging Nigeria's rural and urban literacy gap

Our Mission
To promote access to education for children in Nigeria's rural communities through three resources: foundational camps, full scholarships, and continuous mentorship.
Our Vision
A literate, empowered Nigeria where every child can reach their full potential through quality education.
Our Story · Est. 2021
It began with children who wanted to keep learning
In 2021, Olohi John was teaching free after-school lessons to children in Kwali. They showed up curious and capable. But when each lesson ended, most had no way to keep going, their families couldn't afford school fees, and some had grown up hearing that classrooms weren't meant for children like them. Olohi started Justice Through Literacy, first known as the Kwali Juvenile Education Foundation, so those children wouldn't have to stop.
Through a 3-pronged process, we provide opportunities for children in rural Nigeria, where more than 10 million children are out of school (UNICEF), to attend school. And we stay with them, through a first summer camp, a sponsored place at school, and the mentors who keep them going year after year.
“Seeing so many bright children leave the lessons with little hope of continuing their learning was deeply unsettling.”
