Initiatives for Social Inclusion and Grassroots Literacy (ISGIL) is a Nigerian non-governmental organisation focused on literacy, education, and social inclusion. The organisation works with communities to improve access to learning opportunities and support groups facing barriers to education.[1]
ISGIL was founded by Owoseye Oluwayomi, who serves as the Founder and Chairman of the Board.[2] The organisation is based in Abuja, Nigeria, and focuses on grassroots development through education, advocacy, and empowerment initiatives.

The organisation has participated in educational outreach programmes, including the distribution of learning materials to indigent pupils in Ondo State. The initiative included the provision of books, exercise books, pens, and other educational resources, with attention given to children of persons living with disabilities.[3]
