Teachers Without Borders established its presence in Nigeria in 2001. Since then, in addition to training more than 1,000 teachers in theCertificate of Teaching Mastery program, TWB projects in Nigeria have provided teachers with computers and IT assistance; established temporary schools in a refugee camp serving 150 families in Calabar; organized HIV/AIDS education seminars for soldiers, nurses, doctors and health practitioners; and supported the disabled in accessing cyber-cafes and our teaching centers.

TWB programs in Nigeria also supported more than a thousand teachers, leaders, community educators, and other professionals working to promote the realization of the Millennium Development Goals in their communities. Their work spanned the areas of literacy;microcredit for women; sports for peace and development; educational seminars for political leaders; and voter education to ensure free, fair and credible elections.

Until June 2011, TWB also ran a weekly local radio show, called The Voice of Teachers, which reached more than 1.5 million listeners with information and discussion about regional education issues.
