What happens when teachers are equipped with innovative teaching methods? Learners become confident problem-solvers and creators.
Through the STEM Teachers' Fellowship, implemented by Teachers Aid Initiative with support from the TY Danjuma Foundation, public primary school pupils in Akwa Ibom State are applying science concepts through hands-on, project-based learning.

During a recent monitoring visit, learners confidently demonstrated innovative projects, including models of the solar system, friction, and water purification, made with locally sourced materials, showcasing creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking.
These classroom innovations reflect the impact of empowering teachers with practical, learner-centred approaches that make STEM education more engaging and relevant.
We appreciate the collaboration of the Akwa Ibom State Universal Basic Education Board (AKSUBEB) and our implementing partner, Teachers Aid Initiative, in advancing quality education for every child.

Together, we are nurturing the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.🎥 Watch some highlights from the classroom demonstrations.

The TY Danjuma Foundation was honoured to participate in the 10th East Africa Philanthropy Conference (EAPC 2026), held from 16–20 June 2026 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the theme “Anchoring Systems in an Era of Transition.”

As part of a high-level panel discussion on “Localisation, Legitimacy, and the Governance of Voice,” the Foundation joined development leaders and practitioners from across the continent to examine how governance systems, resource allocation, and decision-making processes can better reflect the priorities and aspirations of the communities they serve.

The discussion highlighted the importance of moving beyond local implementation towards approaches that strengthen local leadership, ownership, and accountability. Participants reflected on the persistent gap between global commitments and the realities of financing and decision-making within the development sector, underscoring the need for more inclusive and equitable systems.

Drawing on its experience supporting community-driven development initiatives across Nigeria, the TY Danjuma Foundation shared insights on the value of investing in local institutions, fostering trusted partnerships, and creating opportunities for communities to actively participate in shaping solutions to the challenges they face.

Gima Forje, the Chief Executive Officer of the TY Danjuma Foundation joined distinguished panellists from across Africa joined distinguished panellists from across Africa to share the Foundation's journey and lessons learned in advancing sustainable, locally led development. The exchange provided a valuable platform for learning, collaboration, and strengthening connections with philanthropic and development actors across the region.

The conversations at EAPC 2026 reaffirmed that sustainable development outcomes are most effective when communities are not only beneficiaries of interventions but active participants in defining priorities, influencing decisions, and driving change.

The TY Danjuma Foundation remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen local capacity, promote community ownership, and contribute to resilient systems that improve lives and livelihoods across Nigeria.

In collaboration with the Everight Foundation, a Capacity Building and Training Programme for Community Health Ambassadors (CHAs) was held on 6 June 2026 at the Sabon Gari Primary Health Centre in Bwari, Abuja.

The programme equipped Community Health Ambassadors and healthcare workers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to promote awareness on HPV, cervical cancer, Hepatitis B & C, encourage screening and vaccination uptake, and support community-based health education initiatives.

A total of 64 Community Health Ambassadors and healthcare workers participated in the training, which covered disease prevention, early detection, vaccination, and effective community advocacy. Participants also completed pre- and post-training assessments to measure knowledge gained and strengthen their capacity as health advocates.

Following the training, the Community Health Ambassadors carried out community sensitisation and awareness activities across Bwari and surrounding communities, mobilising residents to access screening, counselling, vaccination, and referral services. Women aged 40 years and above also benefited from cervical cancer screening, including Pap smear tests.

Through the dedication of the Everight Foundation, Community Health Ambassadors, healthcare workers, and community stakeholders, the intervention contributed to increased awareness, improved access to preventive healthcare services, early detection, and strengthened linkage to care for individuals requiring follow-up services.

Together, we are empowering communities with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed health decisions and build healthier futures.
