Dear supporters,
We thank you for your interest in this project. At this stage, we have not received any donations, but the need to begin is very urgent.
In Nigeria, 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 10 boys experience sexual abuse before the age of 18 (UNICEF). Many children are too young to understand the difference between safe and unsafe body touch, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. Traditional teaching methods often fail to communicate this sensitive subject effectively to toddlers.
This project introduces an art-based method of teaching toddlers about body safety. Through drawings, paintings, and storytelling, children will learn to identify safe and unsafe touches in a way that is age-appropriate, engaging, and memorable. Parents and caregivers will also be guided on how to continue reinforcing these lessons at home.
Your donation will help us produce art materials, train facilitators, and organize community workshops. With this effort, toddlers can be taught protective knowledge early in life, reducing their risk of abuse as they grow.
We invite you to be part of this important work. Together, we can build safer childhoods for our children.
Sincerely,
Ugbede-Ojo Dominic Kadiri
