Become an Education Sponsor
By sponsoring a Slum2School Green Academy, you provide quality education, opportunity, and hope for children in underserved communities across Africa. With your partnership, we can build innovative, climate-smart schools that change lives—classroom by classroom, child by child, and community by community.
How Sponsorship Works
While building an Academy is no simple task, we believe sponsoring one should be. Here’s how it works:
Your Gift Builds Where It’s Needed Most
Setting up a classroom starts at $13,500, serving 25 children annually. Establishing a full Green Academy begins at $180,000 and can cost more, depending on the project and location - serving 250+ children on full scholarships.
We Keep You Connected
While work is underway, we’ll share updates from the ground - photos, stories, and progress reports - so you can see the difference you’re making as each classroom or Academy comes to life.
You See Your Impact in Real Time
Within 12 months, your sponsored Academy will be operational. You’ll receive a customized Impact Report showing; photos and stories of the children you’ve helped, Academy details (location, features, enrollment numbers), progress metrics (attendance, literacy/numeracy gains).
The Green Academy
Each Green Academy is more than a school. It’s an ecosystem of learning, sustainability, and community transformation.
Why It’s Worth It
When a community receives a Green Academy, everything changes;
Children lean faster-literacy and numeracy in just months.
Families are supported with health, nutrition, and psychosocial services.
Communities thrive, gaining access to technology, water, energy, and sustainable practices.
Public systems strengthen - as we integrate into national education strategies for scale.
It is truly one of the most transformative investments you can make.
Let’s Build Your Legacy
Your support builds more than a school, it builds a legacy. When you sponsor a Green Academy, you have the opportunity to name or customize the Academy in recognition of your commitment. This could mean:
Retaining the household name Slum2School Green Academy with your name proudly attached.
Designing a unique feature with your recognition, or a dedicated space like a library or lab that carries your name.
Creating a high-visibility, lasting mark of your support that children, families, and the wider community will celebrate for generations.
A partnership of this kind not only transforms education, it reflects your values in a visible, meaningful, and enduring way

Green Academy, Saga, Nigeria
Saga is a small riverine community in western Nigeria where most families rely on fishing and subsistence farming. For decades, children in Saga had no access to formal education, with the nearest school hours away by canoe. Many grew up without learning to read or write, and opportunities for families remained limited, no clean water, electricity or health care.
Meet Our Pilot Academy
In 2025, we launched the very first Slum2School Green Academy in Saga. The Academy now provides 250 children across 8 communities with full scholarships and access to world-class, climate-smart classrooms powered by solar energy and connected by satellite internet. Families also benefit from clean water through rainwater harvesting, renewable energy from solar and biogas, healthcare and community gardens that improve nutrition.

Project costs are carefully calculated based on location, design requirements, materials, labor, and community needs.
