About us

Millions of young Africans are late bloomers, primarily on account of being exposed to opportunities much later in life and this is a gap the Foundation seeks to pull the plug on.

Founded by techpreneur Khalil Halilu, the KSH Foundation is a non-profit organization that seeks to leverage technology and entrepreneurship and its role in early development.

With this, the foundation aims at providing enablers in the form of mentorship, technical/interpersonal assistance, and funding to young Nigerians who are driven to innovation in tech-related fields whilst helping create products and services with significant impact on development in Nigeria.

While the foundation believes in equity, it is also aware of the social challenges faced by women and as such focuses most of its program, particularly on women.

With the dream that Africa will one day pride herself on the inventions of her children, the KSH Foundation will constantly support and encourage outstanding innovation in the youth.

Vision

To constantly support and encourage outstanding innovation in the youths.

Mission

A day Africa prides herself on the inventions of her children.
