A Future at Risk

Be the Spark. Adopt a School Today.

In a world where children are learning to code at 5, too many Nigerian public school students have never touched a computer. While private school students explore AI tools, build robots, and think like innovators, their counterparts in public schools remain digitally excluded.

  • Over 83% of Nigerian public primary schools lack any form of computer education.
  • Millions of children in rural and underserved areas have never used a computer.
  • The digital divide is growing wider every day, robbing children not just of access, but of opportunity, dignity, and a future. Leaving behind a generation that’s unprepared for the digital economy, unemployable in global markets, and uninspired to dream bigger.

SPARK: A Bold Solution

The SPARK stands for Support. Partner. Adopt. Rebuild. Kindle initiative and it's how we plan to bridge the digital divide across Nigerian public schools, starting with Uyo and surrounding cities.

SPARK is powered by EarlyFounders Labs, a leading force in early-stage technology and entrepreneurial education. We're activating schools, equipping students, and igniting a passion for technology.

One spark at a time.

The Vision Behind SPARK

We believe that every child deserves access to the future, not just those in privileged schools. SPARK is designed to:
