Sustainobles, founded by Oyiga Micheal Nnanna in June 2022, addresses the pressing issue of out-of-school children in Nigeria, particularly in rural areas. With approximately 19.5 million children out of school, the project employs innovative solutions to provide education and improve living conditions. The initiative recycles plastic bottles quarterly, converting waste into funds to send over 600 rural children to school for two years.

Additionally, Sustainobles runs a football team to divert male children from a life of crime and organizes skill and apprenticeship programs. A borehole was constructed in Makoko Yaba, benefiting over 7000 people, and 500 sanitary pads were distributed to girls, accompanied by seminars on sexual hygiene. Sustainobles conducts free holiday coaching for 56 kids, integrating academic and tech skills.

Monthly book and cloth drives offer rural children clothes and books, while essay competitions encourage writing. The project's book club focuses on revitalizing a love for reading among children. The impact is evident in increased school registrations in Orile, Agejunle, and Makoko, addressing issues of school fees and providing essential items.

The borehole project ensures access to clean water, and six children graduated from apprenticeship programs, receiving their own shops. The monthly essay competition has seen rising participation, and the book club promotes a culture of reading among children.
