Joshua is a young artist and changemaker from Nigeria who discovered his passion for painting at a young age. Facing limited access to art education, his parents supported him by creating Josh Arts Academy, where he empowers children with artistic talent by providing affordable materials, mentorship, and creative programs. Over three years, Joshua has helped nearly 100 children explore their talents through summer and holiday classes, art empowerment workshops, and personal training programs. His own growth was supported by mentorship from Kidpreneur Africa, which taught him how to monetize his artwork and use his skills to empower others.

Joshua’s initiatives have reached children across his community and beyond. He has participated in multiple empowerment programs, exhibited his art, and represented Nigeria as a Kidpreneur Ambassador at events in Nairobi and Botswana. Through Josh Arts Academy, he has inspired young people to recognize and develop their talents, promoting creativity, financial literacy, and confidence. The Academy continues to provide a supportive and innovative space for children to grow, making art education accessible and fostering a new generation of young changemakers.
