Founded in 2020 as a passion project by Founder and Executive Director, Dr. Munirat Antoinette Lecky, The Live Wire Project is an organization working in social impact to grow the number of voices speaking about issues in Nigeria and Africa, to get new audiences to proffer sustainable solutions.
The Live Wire Project uses a network of celebrity influencers and public figures to organize awareness campaigns, events, and capacity building projects to educate and empower in unique, innovative ways, making a difference one life at a time focused on Gender Justice, Democracy, Climate, Health, and Education.
Our founder’s interest for philanthropy in Nigeria grew exponentially after she won the Airtel Touching Lives ‘Goal for Education’ Challenge while competing in Big Brother Naija Season 3. As the winner of the challenge, leading telecommunication service provider, Airtel Nigeria donated N800,000 worth of educational materials to pupils of Uchi Primary School, Auchi, Edo State, the school in her hometown that she designated that she wanted to support.
Dr. Lecky saw the donation as “a contribution towards securing a better future for the leaders of tomorrow”, and this led to her starting her own initiative which has now turned into a registered NGO with hopes of becoming a social enterprise
