Impact & reporting
The numbers, including the ones that are still zero.
A new organisation asking for money should show its books before it has a record to be proud of. This page exists from day one so you can watch it change.

Of spending reported to a named school
Not a target — a condition of how we disburse. Every payment is tied to a school, a receipt and a result.
Our first cohort is in progress, so these figures are honestly zero. We publish them from day one so you can watch them move — and hold us to them if they don't.
We have not refurbished a library yet.
AVID was incorporated in 2026 and is selecting its first schools in Lagos. Everything here is a goal and a method, not an achievement, and is labelled that way. When the first library opens, its record appears on our transparency wall and these figures move.
What we measure
Six measures, and only one of them counts books.
It is easy to report deliveries. Whether children read more is harder, slower and the only thing that matters. We assess reading fluency and comprehension at baseline and at follow-up intervals so that we can answer the real question.
- Reach
- Libraries refurbished; pupils with access; schools served.
- Usage
- Books borrowed per pupil; library visits per week; reading periods timetabled.
- Learning
- Reading fluency and comprehension, at baseline and at follow-up.
- Equity
- Participation by gender, with specific attention to girls' access.
- Durability
- Libraries still open, stocked and staffed at 12 and 24 months.
- Stewardship
- Cost per pupil; share of spending reaching delivery.
Our reporting commitments
Five promises you can check.
- 01
Every disbursement is tied to a school
We do not make general grants. Each payment references a named school, a milestone and a receipt.
- 02
Annual financial statements
Published here each year, alongside our annual return filings.
- 03
A report to every donor, naming the school
If you funded a shelf, you get the photograph of that shelf. If you funded a library, you get the full record.
- 04
Durability measured at 12 and 24 months
We report the proportion of libraries still open, stocked and staffed, including the ones that are not.
- 05
We publish what did not work
A library that closes is a failure we will describe, not omit. This is the commitment most easily broken, so we are stating it first.
Annual reports and statements
Documents, as they exist.
Filing status
AVID was incorporated in 2026. Our first financial year is in progress, so there is no annual report to publish yet. Our first statements and annual return will be posted on this page when filed.
In the meantime, if you are assessing us for a grant and need our incorporation documents, board list, conflict-of-interest policy, safeguarding policy or draft budget, email partners@theavidfoundation.org and we will send them. We would rather be asked than assumed about.
