Supporting education and innovation.
Through 1MT Cares, we aim to provide educational opportunities and empowerment for teachers from the most vulnerable and under resource communities around the world.
More and better trained teachers are needed to reach the 263 million children and youth out of school. Of the 69 million global shortage, 17 million are from Sub-Saharan Africa alone – the region with the youngest and fastest growing population, the region with the least ability and resources to deal with this big problem.
Let’s work together to enhance the chances of a better life for the most vulnerable among us. Talent is evenly distributed but opportunities are not.
We Need Almost 70 Million More Teachers by 2030
The impact of a truly empowered teacher goes far beyond what can be measured with numbers. As role models and community leaders, they have the power to create change that lasts for generations. 1MT is the international programming partner for the development of empowered teachers, we go beyond training to also create pathways to job satisfaction and consistent income in order to achieve sustainability.
Continuing Education for Teachers
We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities. From training on the latest technology to new pedagogical methods, we help teachers make their classrooms engaging and successful.
Support for Communities
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
“Education must respond to the dynamism, speed of development and massive changes in society, and educators must be trained to understand the skills required to take full advantage of a world dependent on technology”
—Yemi Osinbajo

1 Million Teachers, in its global drive to empower educators to deliver inclusive, gender-responsive education in under-resourced communities, has teamed up with 1 Book Africa Initiative. The latter aims to significantly reduce out-of-school children in Africa, particularly in Northern Nigeria, which has 60% of the country's total number of out-of-school children according to UNICEF data. This makes Northern Nigeria the world's largest hub for this issue.
The collaboration will leverage the multi-award-winning film KAKA as a catalyst for dialogue with key stakeholders and partners. This inspiring story follows a young girl's dream of becoming a nurse and her journey to educate herself to support her community. Her narrative intertwines with that of Mallam Habu, a dedicated teacher striving to educate every child in Duma village.
