Building Foundations Beyond Classrooms: Why Financial Literacy Matters!

At Young Support Foundation, we believe that empowering a child means giving them the tools to navigate the world with confidence. While schools teach us how to read and write, Financial Literacy teaches our children and teens how to dream, plan, and achieve.

Why start now?

Smart Habits Early: Teaching kids the difference between "needs" and "wants" builds a lifetime of disciplined spending.

Confidence & Independence: When teens understand budgeting and saving, they gain the self-reliance needed to make informed life choices.

Breaking the Cycle: Financial education is a powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty, ensuring our youth are prepared for the challenges of adulthood.

Whether it’s a small savings jar for a child or a first budget for a teenager, every lesson is a step toward a secure and thriving future.

Let’s invest in their minds today so they can lead tomorrow!

Enriching Lives by Supporting Future

Transforming lives, not just feeding them.
Almajiri children deserve more than temporary relief, they deserve education, opportunity, and a future.

Our reform initiative focuses on creating sustainable systems: schools that teach, communities that support, and policies that ensure every child has a chance to thrive.

Together, we can shift from charity to empowerment, from dependency to opportunity, and from neglect to progress.

Every Almajiri child on the street is evidence of a system that is not working as it should.

At YSF, we believe reform must go beyond sympathy. It must include accountability, oversight, and measurable action. That is why we are engaging the Almajiri issue through research, advocacy, stakeholder dialogue, and public awareness by ensuring that commitments translate into real outcomes for children.

This is not about blame.
It is about responsibility.

Almajiri reform must move from good intentions to good governance.

The blueprint is ready. Now, let’s get to work!

We want to make sure every young person we reach has two things: a mentor to lean on and a platform to speak from.

Through Education and Advocacy, we’re helping the next generation take the lead. Who’s with us?

📢 Education is a Right, Not a Privilege !

The Northern Elders Forum is turning up the heat on Northern Nigeria governors to follow through on their pledge to collaborate with the National Commission for Almajiri and Out-of-School Children Education With over 700,000 children already mapped for enrollment in 2026, we cannot afford more delays. It is time for our leaders to move beyond signing communiqués and start opening the school doors. We demand that every governor provides the necessary infrastructure and funding to ensure these vulnerable children are moved from the streets into classrooms immediately.

While we push for enrollment, peace-building organizations are now calling for the complete abolition of the Almajiri system, citing it as a major driver of regional insecurity and social exclusion. We believe that to truly secure our future, we must replace outdated models with a unified, modern educational system that gives every child a fair shot at life.

Join us in calling for an end to systemic neglect, our children deserve better!

Land of Hope

Do you remember Samuel ?

We rescued him more than 3 years ago. He was wearing a torn t-shirt with LOVE written on it.

We found him living inside the bush! Samuel’s father accused him of being a witch and tried to kill him.

He cut his head with a machete. Samuel fought back and escaped the attack. He ran into the bush where he was hiding.

Since then we have searched for his father but not been able to trace his whereabouts.

But we never give up. Yesterday we went on a mission to find him. While driving around in his community Samuel suddenly saw his father on a bike and we followed him.

He was not aware we were at his tail and he took us straight to Samuel’s grandparents’ house.

When the father saw us he ran away. Seriously he jumped of his bike and ran into the bush!

Samuel’s grandparents were in the house and they were shocked and so happy to see Samuel again.

Samuel and his father were not living with the grandparents. So when their son came home one day without Samuel and told them what he had done they threw him out!

We sat for hours and talked with Samuel’s grandparents. They really care for Samuel and he told me that they always treated him with love and kindness,

They were so ashamed of their son’s behavior. We agreed to come back to talk to Samuel’s father.

He needs to see Samuel and know that he is still alive ! To hear that his son is one of the most brilliant students in his class and that he is not a witch !

One significant thing about Samuel’s case is that from his grandparents house you can see a massive residence.

It’s where the Governor of Akwa Ibom lives.

Reunification is a long process but it starts somewhere and with a lot of home visits and counseling there is room for hope ✨

Love from Anja ❤️
