Dear Prospective Donors,
Thank you in advance for your support and for standing with us to protect children in Nigeria. Your interest in early childhood safety helps give toddlers the knowledge and confidence to understand their personal boundaries.
In Nigeria, six out of ten children experience some form of violence before age 18, with one in four girls and one in ten boys affected by sexual violence. Many toddlers do not know the difference between safe and unsafe touch, and adults often dismiss their concerns. Schools rarely teach this early, and discussing it at home is still considered taboo. This leaves children vulnerable in spaces that should feel safe.
The Teaching Toddlers Safe & Unsafe Body Touch via Art project will reach 2,500 children across six states using storytelling, drawing, and role-playing. These age-appropriate activities will help toddlers recognize personal space, understand safe and unsafe touch, and build confidence to express themselves. Caregivers and teachers will be involved to reinforce learning and ensure the message spreads beyond the sessions.
While no donations have been received yet, but we hope that you will support us kindly to be able to execute this life-changing project.
Warm regards,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri
