Norviwo Academic Scholars

Step Three - We Educate

Future of Africa supports academically bright children who have been taken off the streets achieve their academic dreams by sponsoring their education. 

Norviwo Academic Scholars (NAS)

Norviwo Scholars Program provides continuous support for former street children in their pursuit of formal education. We invest in bright children by sponsoring their academic journeys from primary education all the way to tertiary education. We partner with exceptional schools which understand the unique needs of the children we work with and can provide a stable and nurturing environment where these intelligent minds can focus on their studies and thrive. We know that with a quality education, these former street residents have a much better chance of staying off the streets for good.

How Norviwo Academic Scholarship works

NAS is an education and wellbeing program offering full scholarships for academically bright but economically disadvantaged youth. Our goal is to equip former street residents to gain knowledge and skills to become employable and responsible citizens in future. Future of Africa also provides ongoing moral support and mentorship to ensure that FOA Scholars are making progress in school.

The criteria for becoming a scholar

1. Children living in street situations between the ages of 13 to 17 years

2. Children who demonstrate a strong commitment to joining our scholars program by consistently participating in our street outreach

3. Children who demonstrate a track record of academic excellence and may have been out of school for no more than three years

The Impact Of Norviwo Academic Scholars

Future of Africa supports 11 former street children in their educational journeys. This support has led to significant milestones, including transitions to higher education and university admissions. 



Our Impact

  • I used to think it was normal for children to live on the streets, but joining FOA opened my eyes to the harsh reality that this is a serious social problem demanding urgent attention. Now, I am confident that I can play a significant role in addressing and solving this issue

Every Moment Counts

Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
