• Represented dozens of children in Court, ensuring access to justice for those in need and ensuring their voices are heard.
• Secured the release of children from correctional centres, helping them reintegrate into society and giving them a chance to rebuild their lives.
• Hosted the Know Your Rights Initiative events in June/July and November across Lagos correctional centres empowering children with knowledge about their rights and the justice system in fun and interactive ways.

CRJJC works closely with families, social workers, schools, and correctional centres to ensure children receive wholistic support. Whether advocating for their rights in court, helping them meet release conditions, or reuniting them with families or guardians, our goal is to create brighter futures for every child.

We owe our success to the commitment of volunteer lawyers, law students, donors, and supporters. Your dedication, time, and resources have allowed us to create meaningful impact and inspire hope for hundreds of children.

Together, we are building a system where children are protected, empowered, and given a fair chance to thrive.

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.
