Plateau State, since 2015
Every child in Plateau deserves a bright start.
Seedlight works with families, teachers and village leaders around Jos to keep girls in school, bring clean water to communities and train the teachers who change lives.
Figures on this page are example numbers for this demo.
Our programmes
Three ways we help
Each programme is run with local partners and led by people from the communities we serve.
Girls in school
Fees, uniforms, books and mentors so girls can stay in school through to their final exams.
Clean water
Solar boreholes and repaired water points with trained caretakers and hygiene clubs.
Teacher training
Workshops and classroom coaching for primary teachers in rural schools.
Example funding progress for this demo.

How we work
Led by communities, not by us
We only go where we are invited, and we stay for years, not months.
Listen
Village leaders, parents and head teachers tell us what they need most.
Plan together
We agree a plan, a budget and who looks after what once we step back.
Do the work
Local staff and partners deliver, with monthly reports to donors.
Hand over
Caretakers, mentors and school boards carry it on, with our support.
Give
Choose what your gift does
Give once or every month, to the programme you care about most or where it is needed most. You will hear back with photos and updates from the field.
