About Muhammad Usman

Founder of Young Developer Foundation | Empowerment of Underprivileged Children

Muhammad Usman is a young Nigerian changemaker who is extending access to school education and vocational skills development to out-of-school and the Almajirai children in Northern Nigeria. He is supporting the development and economic empowerment of these less privileged children and youth by working with strategic partners to provide them with education and skills acquisition sponsorships and creative development workshops. 

He firmly believes in the power of community-led solutions and is working with indigenous stakeholders in these communities to provide sustainable solutions to the food insecurity, clothing and shelter problems faced by street children and Almajirai children. Additionally, he continues to raise awareness of these issues through media partners, other community-based organizations and youth-led organizations to ensure proper sensitization of the public on the urgency of these issues and the need to take collective action for sustained impact.
