At African Kids Education Matters (AkEM), we aim to identify talented and gifted children in underprivileged African communities who lack access to quality education. Our mission is to provide these children with the support they need to reach their full potential. We believe that early identification and the right education, coupled with training in 21st-century skills, can prepare these gifted children to make a global impact and play a crucial role in reducing poverty and illiteracy in Africa.
Education
We collaborate with schools in rural and suburban areas of selected communities to identify gifted children. Our support includes educational funding, scholarships, educational materials, and education and skills training. We prioritize STEM education, music, and entrepreneurship training.

Through our annual music competition/training and Christmas concerts, we have created a unique and enriching musical experience for children in Africa. We provide music education, training, and instruments to talented children in selected communities.
