The ATLAS Initial Project

The Access to Learning and School (ATLAS) initiative is a social enterprise that aims to address inequalities in educational and learning access, particularly in marginalised communities. ATLAS was inspired by Jacob Henry, a volunteer in a tiny town in Ikorodu, Lagos, who championed a “return to school” initiative. Jacob had tracked down thirty (30) youngsters, gathered funds for them, and enrolled them in school. His efforts generated a sense of responsibility among his peers and friends, resulting in a large-scale movement to re-enroll out-of-school youngsters in school in the shape of a Global Social Change.
