Neurodiversity Support

At Nudge Education, we reconnect chronically disengaged students aged 4–25 with education through bespoke academic and therapeutic interventions.

Afrikindness is a non-profit public-benefit organisation with the primary aim of promoting acts of kindness amongst children and young adults, igniting a desire in them to make a positive impact in their communities.
