INSPIRING THE STREET YOUNGSTERS
WELCOME TO AKHIN
The increase in the number of homeless youngsters in Nigeria and the inhuman, loveless, hazardous environment on the street of Nigeria exposes them to diseases, abusive use of drugs, and involvement in criminal activities that often end them in prison or juvenile delinquency centres. To respond to these challenges, we founded AKHIN, an organisation providing alternative learning space for homeless youngsters in Nigeria, where they can discover, develop and explore their talents and dreams. . AKHIN is a Yoruba name for one who is Resilient, Courageous, Fearless, and Independent; all of these attributes are found in homeless youngsters. AKHIN is the flagship name of Save the Street Child Foundation.
