Ya’yan Bege, Hausa for Children of Hope, is a nonprofit organization I started when I was 13 years old as a means through which to help train the African child -especially in Nigeria, in the fear and admonition of the Lord. It came as a reaction to the extreme poverty and rising number of out of school children I saw that plagued the people of Nigeria. My desire was to look out for the future of Nigeria by training today its future leaders, i.e the children, in both academics, life skill, and in the fear and admonition of the Lord. It started out with about 50 children and by the grace of God today there are some 1000+ children who benefit from it.
