Local Investment for Local Change

COAL is a nonprofit based in Plateau, Nigeria, a state at the crossroads of ethno-religious diversity and artistic brilliance but also marked by recurring violence. Our exclusive focus is investing in grassroots educators and accelerated learning initiatives to improve learning for underserved children, and empower youth in the literary and creative arts for social change.
We’re local by design, but with a global outlook and network driven by young people. We create spaces for learning and creativity to thrive—especially where it’s needed most.
