Empowering Children in Low-Income Communities through Quality Education
Talent Mine Academy is a nonprofit that focuses on providing quality education and better opportunities to kids in low-income communities.
At Talent Mine Academy, we are committed to transforming the lives of children in low-income communities by giving them access to 12 years of fully-funded, high quality education. Our mission is to raise these children as young leaders who can solve the problems in their community.
Why we exist!
In Nigeria, there are 13.2 million out-of-school children, and 80% of the children in school are not learning the relevant skills that they need to thrive due to poor quality of the curriculum, underskilled teachers, lack of conducive learning environment and lack of quality learning materials. The foundational door to accessing bigger opportunities is knowing how to read and write, and without that, these doors of opportunities are shut against kids in low-income communities because of their background.
Young people from different backgrounds have a huge impact on us and all our activities. They highlight those parts of the society that are broken, so we can help them in all possible ways to regain hope and flourish in life.
What we do
In partnership with qualitative community schools, private individuals, and organizations, we provide children in low-income communities with intellectual stimulation and life skills development opportunities. We do this through our primary education scholarship scheme and our weekly life enrichment programs.
Our Programs
Talent Mine Academy programs are focused on two critical areas that can impact the life of a child: Intellectual Stimulation and Life Skills Development.
Talent Mine School
With the support of donors and well-meaning organizations, we have been able to create a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment for children in low-income communities to access six years of fully-funded education.
Life Skills Enrichment Program
Through our Saturday enrichment program, we balance the intellectual stimulation that our kids get in the classroom with life skills development so that they learn the skills that they need to thrive in life.

Inspiring Stories of Transformation
When Uchechi came for her scholarship application interview, she looked so malnourished, even though she was eager to learn.
In the first few weeks of attending school, Uchechi would show up looking sick and weak. Her mum is only able to feed her once a day – after school.
Many times, Uchechi would come to school without eating at all and on the best days, she came with a bottle of garri in her bag
