INSPIRING THE STREET YOUNGSTERS

WELCOME TO AKHIN

This is a space for homeless youth to express, discover, develop, and explore their talents to fulfil their dreams. 

AKHIN, the flagship of Save the Street Child Foundation, takes its name from the Yoruba word “AKIN,” symbolizing resilience, courage, fearlessness, and independence. It was founded in 2019 to deal with the pressing issues faced by homeless youth in Nigeria.

The founder, who spent 12 years on the streets in the early stages of life, personally experienced the challenges faced by homeless youth in Nigeria. These young people confront an inhumane, loveless, and dangerous street environment, exposing them to diseases, drug abuse, and involvement in criminal activities, often leading to imprisonment or juvenile delinquency centres.

To address these challenges, we started AKHIN, an organisation offering a learning space for homeless youth in Nigeria. Here, they can explore, develop, and discover their talents and dreams.
