Our Location
Serving New Orleans
Located in the heart of New Orleans, Louisiana, our organization is deeply rooted in this vibrant community. We operate from our base at 70115-1409, strategically positioned to serve families throughout the greater New Orleans area.
Our location allows us to understand the unique challenges and opportunities that local children face, enabling us to create programs that are culturally relevant and community-focused.
What We Do
Samaa Kids is a nonprofit organization that empowers children to learn, explore, and collaborate through comprehensive educational and community programs. We believe every child deserves access to quality learning opportunities that foster creativity, critical thinking, and personal growth.
Our approach combines innovative educational methodologies with community-centered programming to create lasting positive change. We work directly with children, families, and local partners to build stronger, more resilient communities where every young person can thrive and reach their full potential.
Together we grow,
together we shine.
This mission statement embodies our core belief that collective growth and shared success create the strongest foundation for individual achievement. When children learn together, support each other, and celebrate shared accomplishments, they develop both academic skills and essential life competencies.
