About Us
Our Story
Thrive Camps Africa
It all started with God. In September 2022, a group of friends had a burden to reach underserved children in Lagos, Nigeria—children vulnerable to crime, abuse, and hopelessness.
After months of praying and planning, we launched our first outreach in Makoko in December 2022, Africa’s largest floating slum, reaching over 300 children and families through welfare support and counselling.
What began as one event in 2022, has now grown into a weekly mentorship program, currently serving over 80 teenagers and counting.
We believe this is just the beginning. We envision our impact spreading to other low-income communities in other cities in Africa.
Our Mission
To transform teenagers and children in low-income communities through discipleship, mentorship, vocational training, and access to quality education.
Our Vision
To empower 10,000 teenagers and children in slums and low-income communities across Africa by 2035—helping them move from poverty to purpose.
