About us

3LP is a community service initiative founded by Lanre Lawal, built on a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves access to knowledge, inspiration, and a safe space to dream.


Born out of Lanre’s deep love for reading and the life-changing role books played in his journey, 3LP is his personal contribution to the future; an investment in the next generation of thinkers, dreamers, and leaders. Reading opened doors to personal growth, professional opportunities, and fresh perspectives for him, and now he’s committed to opening those same doors for others.


At 3LP, we are transforming public school libraries across Lagos by building and refurbishing them, making them fit for use by students. This isn’t just a project. It’s a mission driven by passion for humanitarian work, community development, and educational equity. Thanks to the generosity of friends and partners, what began as a personal dream is now a growing movement for change. We’re just getting started.


Join us as we build a brighter future one library at a time.
