FOUNDER & VISIONARY

Adetunwase Adenle

Educator, Visual Artist & 4-Time Guinness World Record Holder

“Talent exists in every corner of the world, but opportunity does not. We ensure a child born in a slum never feels their dreams are capped by their environment.”

In 2018, Adetunwase began clearing thousands of discarded plastic bottles choking the Lagos lagoon. Upcycling 50,000+ bottles into Nigeria’s first solar-powered floating art academy, he created a sanctuary where street-vulnerable youth master fine art and enterprise—using artwork sales to fund 100% of their formal primary and secondary schooling.

The World’s First Plastic Bottle Academy

“Every single morning, thousands of children in Nigeria’s floating slums wake up with toxic plastic trash lapping at their doorsteps. With nowhere to learn, street children are forced into hazardous shoreline scrap scavenging just to afford a single meal.”

We refuse to let their childhood drown in garbage. Slum Art Foundation is hand-building Nigeria’s first solar-powered floating academy—stacked brick-by-brick out of 50,000+ recycled plastic bottles. We take the very waste choking our community and rebirth it as a sanctuary offering free primary education, hot nutritious meals, healthcare, and museum-grade fine art mentorship.

From Trash to Floating Desks

50,000 plastic bottles recovered from polluted lagoons are compacted and mortared into disaster-resilient classroom walls, turning an environmental crisis into children's desks.

100% Free Education & Hot Meals

Every child enrolled receives free accredited primary schooling, crested uniforms, schoolbooks, healthcare, and daily hot meals—taking them off the streets for good.

All Comic Proceeds Fund This ($1)

100% of proceeds from our Guinness World Record Comic Book fund this bottle school. A simple $1 pledge permanently inscripts your name into Guinness history and builds a child's future.
