The #coffee4edu Project.

The #coffee4edu project is the result of Back to School Africa's participation as a partner of e-Bloom Academy's first virtual design thinking workshop for social innovation. The aim of the workshop was to come up with ideas to fundraise money to help out-of-school children in Nigeria.

We wanted to come up with a more sustainable and creative fundraising project. Thus, our winner idea is to sell reusable coffee mugs to raise funds to be able to pay the school fees and give them the right to quality education.

Our organization

Back to School Africa was founded in 2018 by Chukwuma Anklin Amadi and now the organization counts over 70 volunteers in Nigeria. We recognize the role of education as the most effective tool to liberate the vast majority of African communities from the shackles of poverty and retrogression. Our impact is focused on the next generation of leaders and Africa’s most important resource – her children.

Our goal

It costs an average of 40 € per year to put a child through school in Nigeria. The average salary is 50 € per month from what a person has to make a living. Many families cannot afford to provide an education to their children. Our goal for 2022 is to provide education to 250 children in Nigeria by paying those fees

How are we going to reach this goal?

We are starting with a first event at a cozy café in Berlin, La Maison. For this first event, we need our first mugs. We are ordering 700 that we aim to sell at 5 € each. We expect to sell around 300 mugs for the first event and with this money, we can already order 700 more and distribute them in different cafes in Berlin. 

We follow an approach to reinvest earnings to escalate the project. We expect to sell 3000 coffee mugs in 2022 from a realistic perspective. With this, we will have raised 10.000 € that will give education to 250 children in Africa.

Help us to get started!
