OUR MISSION
Classroom Renovation
We renovate dilapidated classrooms and equip them with desks, roofs, and floors, giving children a space to learn with dignity.
Knowledge Localization
Through the Common Tongue Knowledge project, we translate and simplify important books into plain English and Nigerian languages.
Critical Thinking
We believe real education goes beyond memorizing facts, it’s about nurturing the ability to think independently, ask better questions, and challenge ideas constructively.
Get to Know Us
At Fix a Classroom Foundation, our first mission is simple: to rebuild broken classrooms and restore dignity to public education, one community at a time.
But beyond broken walls and leaking roofs, we’re also confronting another silent crisis, the way knowledge is delivered. For many people, important ideas and transformative texts remain locked behind complex language, academic jargon, and foreign structures. Books that should enlighten often intimidate.
We believe that knowledge should be a public resource, not a private luxury. That’s why, alongside our classroom renovation projects, we’re launching the Common Tongue Knowledge initiative: a growing collection of simplified, translated, and culturally grounded texts made for everyday people, in everyday language.
From political thought to philosophy, history to economics, we’re breaking down the walls between the people and the ideas that shape their world. Because just like with classrooms, we don’t want anyone left outside the door.
Our Purpose
Committed to Change
We exist to fix what has been neglected, both in our schools and in our minds.
Physically, we aim to renovate dilapidated classrooms, starting with the most underserved communities. Every child deserves to learn in a safe, dignified, and inspiring environment, not on broken benches or under leaking roofs.
Intellectually, we are tearing down the barriers that keep people from accessing important ideas. Through our Common Tongue Knowledge project, we simplify complex texts and translate them into local languages, so that knowledge becomes a tool for all, not a privilege for a few.
Our purpose is rooted in one belief: education is not just about infrastructure or information, it’s about access. Access to space. Access to ideas. Access to possibility.
A broken classroom is more than a broken building, it's a broken promise. And a book written in language no one understands is no better than silence. In our communities, we see both every day: schools that crumble before the children who need them most, and knowledge that floats above their heads, never reaching their hands. At Fix a Classroom Foundation, we’re choosing to respond, not with speeches, but with action. We are building back both the spaces where children learn and the clarity with which they understand the world.
The Common Tongue Knowledge Library
We simplify complex books in political theory, philosophy, and economics, making them accessible in local languages and plain English.
