Safeguarding Children Initiative -SCII

At Safeguarding Children Initiative (SCII), we recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health especially for children, adolescents, and caregivers in vulnerable communities.

This year’s theme reminds us that wellbeing thrives in connection. Together, as families, communities, and organizations, we can create safe, supportive environments where every child and young person feels seen, valued, and heard.

Let’s continue to:
*Break the silence around mental health.
*Build supportive networks and safe spaces.
*Promote healing, hope, and inclusion for all.

Join us in fostering a culture of empathy and care because safeguarding today means securing a mentally healthier future.

Thanks to the support from American University of Nigeria UNFPA Nigeria and Government of Norway, we are dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and their families.
