Africa Future Innovators Academy (AFIA)

Where the Next Generation of Nigerian Leaders Begin

AFIA is more than a school — it’s a launchpad for Nigeria’s youth.
From preschool to high school, we equip young minds with the critical 21st-century skills that shape nations: STEM, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Finance.

Because Africa’s future won’t be built elsewhere. It will be built here, by us.

AFIA is more than a school — it’s a launchpad for Nigeria’s youth.
From preschool to high school, we equip young minds with the critical 21st-century skills that shape nations: STEM, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Finance.

Because Africa’s future won’t be built elsewhere. It will be built here, by us.

Why AFIA Exists

We see a Nigeria where:

  1. Children no longer have to leave home to chase opportunities.
  2. Talent isn’t exported out of hunger but thrives at home.
  3. Every child — no matter their background — can unlock the tools of tomorrow.

🚀 Our Mission

To inspire and equip Nigerian youth with future-ready skills, while building a strong pipeline of innovators who will power the Arise Intelligence Research Institute (AIRI) and drive Africa’s transformation.

How AFIA Works

AFIA delivers a hybrid learning model — mixing broad online access with hands-on learning at Practical Skills Centers.

  • Online Learning → Flexible subscription model reaching youth across Nigeria.
  • Skills Centers → State-of-the-art labs in underserved communities for robotics, coding, AI, and financial literacy.
  • Project-Based Learning → Students build, create, and solve real problems.

Programs by Stage

  • Little Explorers (Ages 3–5) → Play-based STEM, early coding, and discovery.
  • Junior Innovators (Grades 1–5) → Robotics, problem-solving, and money basics.
  • Tech Pioneers (Grades 6–8) → AI, coding, entrepreneurship, and financial simulations.
  • Future Leaders (Grades 9–12) → Advanced robotics, AI, fintech, and startup incubator-style capstone projects.

Impact We’re Building Toward

  • 10,000+ Nigerian youth gaining future-ready skills in 5 years.
  • $10M valuation target with reinvestment into education equity.
  • Scholarships & free access for underserved communities.
  • A grassroots talent pipeline feeding directly into AIRI Fellowships & Residency.

💡 Why It Matters

  • Nigeria has the largest youth population in Africa.
  • Yet, many lack access to quality STEM and financial literacy programs.

  • Without intervention, we risk falling behind in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
  • AFIA exists to close that gap — not with theory, but with real skills that create opportunity.
