To you, it’s just another June 14. To us, it’s a special milestone. Today marks six years of making meaningful impact in the lives of hundreds of children across Nigeria. Our core belief is that children are the foundation of society. This belief fuels our work through scholarships, after-school lessons, school supplies, payments for national examinations, medical supplies, mentoring, and legal support through the Child Rights and Juvenile Justice Centre (CRJJC).
Promoting Healthy Development
We recognize the importance of play in children’s healthy development. That’s why we organize group activities and excursions that benefit their growth and well-being, ensuring that every child has the chance to thrive.
Advocacy and Juvenile Justice
Child rights advocacy and juvenile justice remains a critical, yet often overlooked, issue in Nigeria. As a result, many children fall through the cracks, with hundreds stuck in correctional institutions without legal representation. In November 2022, TOKAN Foundation launched the Child Rights and Juvenile Justice Centre (CRJJC). Since then, we have secured the release of six children from various reform centers across Nigeria, and more children are now receiving legal representation from our Foundation.
Heartfelt Gratitude
Our achievements would not be possible without the support of YOU, our dedicated supporters. Your belief in our mission—that no child or young person should be denied a future of possibilities—fuels our efforts. Your ongoing support and donations make this challenging work easier and more impactful.
We also extend our gratitude to our trustees, executives, volunteers, donors, and partners. Special thanks go to caregivers, social workers, teachers, proprietors, magistrates, and judges for their tireless commitment to prioritizing children's welfare.
