United for Education Foundation (U4E) is a non-profit organisation fully dedicated to bridging the gap in the quality of education between private and public primary schools in Nigeria. Our mission is to mobilize the largest network of corporate volunteers who will volunteer their time to teach in public primary schools as a way of giving back to society and also for organisation to uniquely participate in employee engagement activities. Our Vision is a Nigeria where every child is equally able to achieve their dream by having the right availability of primary education.

The Teach-for-Change (T4C) program is an employee volunteer program that aims to close the gap between public and private primary education in Nigeria. We have been able to provide a cost-effective solution that seamlessly place employees in over 50 primary schools across Lagos States to teach English Language(Literacy) and Mathematics (Numeracy) classes for no more than an hour a week. One objective of the T4C program is to mobilize the largest number of corporate volunteers in creating real change in public primary education by improving the numeracy (Mathematics) and literacy (English) competencies as they act as role models and mentors. Through interaction with our corporate volunteers, we also hope to give the pupils a vision of their tomorrow and positively influence their life choices. It is an educational intervention platform through which Organizations can actualize their CSR action. We have been able to provide a cost-effective solution that seamlessly place employees in over 50 primary schools across Lagos States to teach English Language(Literacy) and Mathematics (Numeracy) classes for no more than an hour a week. Our Belief is to create a positive mindset at an early age, through regular and sustained classroom interaction with our volunteers, who in addition to teaching, act as positive role models and possible life mentors to these pupils. It is with hope that a better work force emerges in the future, as an outcome of the simple weekly commitment of our volunteers.
