Welcome to Born in Africa

We aim to stimulate social and educational development in children, striving to create economically self-sustainable adults

Born in Africa provides academic, social and life skill programmes. The academic programme focuses on education and tertiary studies. The social programme is driven by individual mentorship. Our life skills programme enriches our learners by exposing them to life outside their rather limited daily routine.

We play, we dance and do great things in Born in Africa. It’s a place where you can go to and where people are watching over you and taking care of you.

Born in Africa is my umbrella in the rain, a blessing! The program helped me to find myself, I learned to believe in myself and that I am the change of my future. I can not wait to see what lies in front of me in the future with the help of Born in Africa.
