Who we are
Saving Children Across Nations (SCAN) is dedicated to creating homeschools for orphaned and homeless children, giving them love, education, and a safe place to grow. SCAN believes that even small acts of kindness can change the world—one child at a time. Through uplifting events like SCAN Jam and Fundays with CEO SCAN Johnson and VP Frances Danuweli, along with programs like the SCAN Club and The Community SCAN, the organization fosters a sense of belonging and works to revitalize poverty-stricken communities—helping make Africa beautiful again.

The Volunteer ForceSCAN Guardians
Our boots. Our soul. Our reason to keep going.
We call them Guardians because that’s exactly what they are.
Teachers, students, mothers, retirees, musicians, and mentors who show up not for pay—but for purpose.
Whether it’s carrying food, teaching youth, leading prayer, or cleaning schools—they give what they have to protect and uplift others.
