AN ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SPACE FOR STREER
AND OUT OF SCHOOL YOUNGSTERS
WELCOME TO AKHIN AFRICA
An inclusive space of hope, healing, and new beginnings.
This is an inclusive space where homeless and out-of-school youngsters can express themselves, discover their passions, develop their skills, and pursue their dreams.
AKHIN Africa, the flagship initiative of Save the Street Child Foundation, derives its name from the Yoruba word “AKIN” which means resilience, courage, fearlessness, and independence. Founded in 2022, AKHIN Africa was born in response to the urgent needs of street youngsters across Africa.
Our founder, having spent 12 years living on the streets, deeply understands the struggles of these young individuals. Street life often exposes them to abuse, addiction, disease, and crime, leading many to prison or juvenile centers.
To break this cycle, AKHIN Africa provides alternative learning spaces where youngsters can heal, grow, and unlock their potential through rehabilitation, education, and vocational training.
We welcome partnerships, collaborations, and inquiries. Please feel free to reach out, we’d love to hear from you.

AKHIN IMPACT RECORD
Since 2022, AKHIN has embarked on a heartfelt mission to uplift homeless and vulnerable children in Nigeria. Our commitment extends far beyond just meeting basic needs. We’re dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where every child can uncover their talents and thrive. We’re not just offering shelter; we’re offering a place to call home, where love knows no bounds.
But our impact doesn’t stop there. We’re not just rescuing children from the streets; we’re empowering mothers to take charge of their children’s well-being. Through training and support, we’re equipping these mothers with the skills they need to create safe and loving homes for their families.
Join us in making a difference. Together, we can build a brighter future for these children and their families.
