Complete Care for Street Kids (CC4SK)

Child protection is a serious concern that is characterized by the targeting and abduction of children. In Ondo State, we work with the State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development and the communities to build a sustainable response to these issues.

Many children do not have shelter and they live on the streets, market stalls, sawmills, uncompleted buildings at night. They wake in the day to source for a sustenance and return to the same condition at night. Some do wheel barrow business, some engage in selling of water and bread. Majority are boys and a very few are girls.

WHAT WE DO:
🌺 Child-Friendly Space
We have set up Child-Friendly Space where about 50 children can play and receive counselling; staffed by community volunteers who have been trained by our counsellors and professional mental health staff. This space are supported by individual philanthropists, professional social workers who can help provide services to children that have more severe conditions.

🌺 Community Safety Nets
The community safety net is a community-led response that has community initiatives for meeting the unmet needs of the street kids. The community assigns the responsibility to a host family within the community and communal efforts are in place to support the host family. We follow-up and offer psychological support from time to time.
Reconnecting Families
We are also helping children reconnect with their families, and reintegrate into society if they have been associated with bad groups. We have a child protection crew that traces the families of the kids and conduct the reunification process, ensuring child safety, and work to find parents that may have neglected their kids as a result of inability to fend for them.

🌺 Household Economic Empowerment

Mum empowered to send kids back to school

In some circumstances, we economically empower the family, either the mother or the guardian. When empowered, they joyfully take up the fending responsibility. No child is an island, the extended families can be traced even when both biological parents are dead.

Kindly contact us if you will like to support a child.

Empowering Young Minds: Breaking the Cycle of Child Labor

At Kidsnteensngo, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for children in Cocoa-growing communities to access quality education and break the cycle of child labor. Through our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees we are working to create a sustainable impact that will benefit these communities for years to come. Our holistic remediation approach focuses on: 1. Education: Providing essential school kits to children, enabling them to attend school regularly and pursue their passions because we believe that children should work on dreams and not in farms. 2. Economic Empowerment: Establishing Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to empower local economies and improve the livelihoods of farmers and parents. This will ensure that parents are able to sustain the education of their children thus allowing the children to learn instead of working to earn to support their parents. 3. Community Development: Engaging local businesses to provide school uniforms, injecting more resources into the community and promoting economic growth. 4. Livelihood support for Farmers: Provision of farm tools and Income Generating Activities (IGA) to boost income and ensure improvements in the standard of living Our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees is making a tangible difference in the lives of

He also expressed K&TRC’s commitment to ongoing collaboration with the school. Educating Players on HPV Prevention After the National Anthem, Mr. Falana gathered the players and used the moment t   o explain why HPV vaccination is vital.

Shockingly, when he ask   ed if any players had been vaccinated, none had. This made his message even more urgent. He encouraged them to get vaccinated and spread the word to their families and friends. The Match and Its Impact With that,
