A Movement for Competence, Trust, and Service
Project 35Ten is a non-partisan, citizen-led initiative uniting Nigerians who believe that governance must be built on evidence, empathy, and accountability. Our goal is to transform public life by shifting political participation from patronage to policy, and from passive interest to organized action.
Rebuilding Democracy from the Ground Up
Our democracy suffers from what we call Poor and Perverse Participation (PPP)—a culture where politics is driven by exchange and self-interest instead of solutions and service.
Project 35Ten exists to replace that culture with informed participation and structured collaboration. Through pods, education, and civic action, we are creating a new standard of national engagement.
