Help 50 Nigerian Schools Combat Child Abuse

Over the past four months, the Elite Star Foundation has actively implemented its child protection initiative aimed at preventing and addressing child abuse among school-aged children in North-Central Nigeria. Our activities focused on empowering teachers, students, and community members with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify, prevent, and respond to abuse effectively.

Key Activities:

1. School Engagement and Outreach:

   • Successfully partnered with more schools across the region.

   • Conducted initial assessments to understand each school’s current capacity in addressing child protection concerns.

2. Capacity Building and Training:

   • Organized training sessions for students on identifying signs of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

3. Monitoring and Follow-up:

   • Conducted regular follow-ups with trained personnel in schools to ensure proper implementation of child protection measures.

   • Collected data on emerging concerns, including reported incidents of abuse and the effectiveness of response actions.
