What PlungeSmile does

PlungeSmile Foundation is a Nigerian nonprofit organization headquartered at 56B Akintunde Adeyemi Drive, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, structured as the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Reliance Infosystems. It operates a multi-program social impact portfolio organized around three pillars — Education, Health & Nutrition, and Infrastructure — delivered primarily in rural Kwara State and Lagos. The Foundation runs 7,000+ volunteers and 36 employees executing programs including daily school feeding for 900+ children across 6 schools in Esie, the Kit Up a Child school-kit distribution (6,000+ kits delivered since 2021), EmpowerED teacher training, Digital Literacy/ICT training via the JDPC partnership, Audiovisual Learning, and the Open Arms initiative for low-income families.

Its digital layer is the EduCare platform — a Go-To-Social-Impact web and mobile application launched October 2024 that enables corporations and individuals to fund and scale educational CSR interventions across Nigeria's 111,000+ public primary and secondary schools, with real-time project visibility and smart school matching. The Foundation also operates a 16-hectare Sustainable Farming Scheme that supplies the school feeding programme and incorporates Microsoft Copilot's Researcher Agent for yield forecasting and sales optimization, having funded 44,000 school-day meals from the first AI-optimized harvest.

Its revenue model is donation-driven, combining individual contributions, corporate CSR partnerships (Reliance Infosystems plus others), and fees from the Education Tourism volunteer experience. Suggested donation units are published (e.g., ₦700 per child per day for feeding, ₦16,500 primary school kits, ₦100,000 monthly educator salary support). The Foundation does not report external institutional funding, operates exclusively within Nigeria, and was recognized at the 2026 Global Sustainability Awards for excellence in quality education impact and SDG 4 contribution.
