The African child and Tech.

The Tech Hub.

2026

  • Nigeria is home to one of the most vibrant and fast-growing startup ecosystems in Africa. Lagos, the country’s commercial capital, is often regarded as the "Silicon Valley" of Africa due to its thriving entrepreneurial culture and concentration of tech startups.

    Nigeria has a growing pool of talented young people, but there is still a significant skills gap, particularly in areas like software engineering, data science, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. While tech education is expanding, many Nigerians still lack access to high-quality educational programs in these critical fields. Although coding boot camps and online platforms are helping to address this gap, more needs to be done to ensure that the country’s workforce is equipped with the technical skills needed to drive the digital economy.

    This is where we come in, we desire to close the skill gap and build a hub that teaches over 5000 youths per year for free.

  • Africa's tech growth is being driven by a combination of innovative startups, a growing youth population, mobile penetration, and increasing investments in digital infrastructure. While challenges remain, such as access to reliable internet and skills gaps, the trajectory for technology in Africa is one of immense potential and promise.

  • In the next 5 years, the Kennedy Tare-Otu Foundation looks forward in building 10 tech hubs across 10 cities/countries in Africa. We plan to sensitise the average African to embrace the gift to technology and master its craft. The vision is that some time near, Africa will compete with the rest of the world in Technology.

The African child and access to free quality education.

FREE QUALITY EDUCATION.

  • Free education in Africa is a topic that has gained considerable attention in recent years, as many African countries strive to improve educational access, reduce inequality, and build a better future for their populations. The push for free education is driven by the recognition that education is a fundamental right and a powerful tool for social and economic development. However, while some African countries have made significant strides toward providing free education at various levels, challenges remain, and the road to achieving universal free education across the continent is far from smooth.

    The case for free education in Africa is compelling. It is a critical lever for addressing inequality, promoting economic development, empowering women and girls, fostering innovation, and ensuring social stability. Although challenges exist—such as inadequate funding, infrastructure, and political will—the long-term benefits of free education far outweigh the hurdles. With investments in education, African countries can unlock the potential of their youth, drive sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and prosperous future for all. Free education is not just an investment in the present—it’s an investment in Africa’s future.

  • The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include the ambition to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all" by 2030. Providing free education is a critical step in meeting these global goals and ensuring that no one is left behind.

    Africa’s success in achieving the SDGs will depend on addressing the education challenges facing its people. By making education free, African countries can ensure they are on track to meet their development goals, improve quality of life for all citizens, and contribute to the overall well-being of the global community.

  • Our vision for Africa is to see every African child educated, reducing the illiteracy level to the most possible minimum. With 54 recognised African countries, it would take the initiative of Individual government to accomplish this. Although widespread knowledge of the advantages of free education is crucial, it is insufficient on its own. What role do I and you play? Join us in raising awareness of this issue and developing an online platform that provides certified basic and secondary education materials to African children at no cost. Join us in making a difference in areas where there are few schools, where education is inaccessible, and where education is subpar.

The Boy child Initiative.

The Boy child Initiative.

  • The Boy Child Initiative focuses on empowering and uplifting young boys by addressing the unique challenges they face in their development, education, health, and social environments. While much attention has traditionally been placed on the girl child, it is equally important to create a program that supports the boy child, ensuring that they grow into responsible, healthy, and well-rounded individuals.

    The ultimate goal is to create a society where boys are not only protected from harm but also equipped with the skills, tools and opportunities to thrive, respect others, and contribute to a better future for all.

  • Achieving the goals of a Boy Child Initiative in Africa will require a concerted effort across various sectors and levels of society. By involving governments, communities, families, and international partners, and by addressing the unique challenges faced by boys, this initiative can lead to healthier, more educated, and more responsible generations of young men. We play a unique role by creating awareness, tutoring and mentoring the boy child on the right way of life, seeking and providing opportunities that propels the Boy child to a greater height.

The Kennedy Tare-Otu Foundation donation to African research in science and technology.

African research donations in science and technology.

  • Donations to African research are essential for fostering progress and sustainable development across the continent. By addressing local challenges, building capacity, fostering innovation, and promoting global cooperation, these donations contribute to both Africa’s development and the global knowledge pool.

    Africa faces a unique set of health challenges, many of which require localized research to understand, prevent, and treat them effectively.

    Malaria remains one of Africa’s most significant public health challenges, with sub-Saharan Africa accounting for approximately 90% of the global malaria cases and deaths.

    Sub-Saharan Africa is home to the highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the world. Despite advances in treatment, HIV remains a major health issue, particularly for women and young people.

    Africa has a high incidence of tuberculosis, especially in countries with high HIV/AIDS prevalence. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that primarily affects the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body.

    With several Aids to bolster African research and health, donations remain a key role to different organisations and institution putting the hard work.

  • By accepting science and technology project applications from African-based students and returning financial help to the top proposals that demonstrate the value of the study and impact, we are willing to support African research.

    Additionally, we are honouring the top graduating students of biochemistry, and computer science of the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, for a start.

Building and supporting Orphanages to give orphans a quality life.

The Kennedy Tare-Otu Foundation Orphanage and support.

  • While orphanages can provide short-term care, many experts now argue that the traditional institutional care model is not ideal for the long-term well-being of children. The focus has shifted to alternative care options that prioritize family-based solutions, community care, and reintegration into society.

    The United Nations and other international bodies, including UNICEF, advocate for family-based care models over institutional care whenever possible. This includes fostering and adoption, as well as community-based care programs. These models prioritize the care of children within a family or community setting, where they are more likely to experience stable, nurturing relationships.

    Many international organizations, including UNICEF and Save the Children, advocate for the deinstitutionalization of child care. These organizations aim to reduce the reliance on orphanages and instead focus on providing family-based alternatives. By supporting foster care, adoption, and community-based programs, these organizations help children grow up in more stable and nurturing environments.

    Foster care, as an alternative to institutional care like orphanages, faces several challenges in Africa, which makes it less common or effective in some contexts. While foster care has proven successful in many parts of the world, the system's implementation in Africa faces unique obstacles related to cultural, economic, and institutional factors.

    While foster care has the potential to provide better outcomes for children than institutional care in many cases, its success in Africa is hindered by several interconnected challenges, including cultural factors, economic constraints, weak legal frameworks, and a lack of infrastructure and resources.

    Given the challenges, it's essential to consider foster care as part of a broader child welfare system that includes family-based care, community support, and institutional improvements rather than relying on it as a sole solution.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe! The challenges of an African family limits the idea of adoption, but what if we tried? what if we create awareness? what if we build orphanages and foster homes for the one reason of finding them a family. This is possible, and from orphanages to foster care to families for these kids is a goal for us.

  • It is going to take ages before Africa embraces the idea of adoption over orphanages. Maybe! Before we get there, Orphanages can’t be overlooked. We desire to increase and improve the standards of life orphans live with us.

    With a Kennedy Tare-Otu Foundation Orphanage, we offer a standard life, free education, shelter, great health access, and talent support to give the child a great chance to life and success.

    We also desire to build one orphanage/foster care home in over 10 African countries within the next 7 years.

Autism awareness in Africa.

Autism awareness in Africa.

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how an individual communicates, interacts, and behaves. It is a global condition, yet in many parts of Africa, awareness of autism and understanding of its challenges have traditionally been limited. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift towards recognizing and addressing autism in African communities. Autism awareness in Africa is still in its early stages, but it is growing steadily as organizations, healthcare providers, and families advocate for more support, research, and inclusion for those with ASD.
