At Learn Yoruba Language Foundation, we understand that language is more than just words—it's the living embodiment of our heritage, carrying centuries of wisdom, tradition, and cultural knowledge. Our programs are meticulously crafted to reconnect Yoruba people, both in Nigeria and across the diaspora, with their linguistic roots.
Through thoughtfully designed initiatives, we aim to make Yoruba language learning accessible, engaging, and deeply meaningful for learners of all ages and backgrounds.
Our flagship language education program is proudly facilitated through our partnership with Akomolede, a vibrant online Yoruba learning platform that has revolutionized how the Yoruba language is taught in the digital age.
Through this partnership, we provide scholarships to promising Yoruba children in the diaspora, enabling them to connect with their cultural roots through structured, interactive language courses that blend traditional teaching methods with cutting-edge educational technology.

Our workshops are conducted both in-person at our Saki headquarters and virtually for global participants, making cultural immersion accessible regardless of geographical location.

Language revival requires community engagement. Our outreach programs bring Yoruba language education directly to communities both in Nigeria and abroad, creating language learning environments that strengthen community bonds while preserving linguistic heritage.
Through these initiatives, we're building vibrant language communities that ensure Yoruba thrives not just as a classroom subject, but as a living language passed from generation to generation.
