Short Story

When a parent goes to prison, their child often serves an invisible sentence: poverty, stigma, and emotional trauma. Ten mothers are incarcerated at the Suleja Correctional Centre for heartbreaking reasons. We have identified 17 children in total, spread across Nigeria from Ebonyi to Kano, Benue, Anambra, Abuja and Nasarawa. We need to visit them and support them with essentials that will help them live, learn, and grow safely.

Help us raise funds to aid our efforts as we push for their well-being.

Campaign Story

Across the states of Abuja, Nassarawa, Ebonyi, Anambra, Benue, and Kano, 17 children are in urgent need of your support. Their numbers are bound to increase as we discover more of them in other states across Nigeria. For the first phase of reaching out to these children, we have visited those in Nasarawa and Abuja, and we have been able to provide emotional support, documented their needs, and listened to their caregivers – many of whom are barely getting by. The second phase is to reach out to the others in other states and support them. These children are bright, hopeful, and full of promise, but the circumstances surrounding their parents’ incarceration threaten to silence their dreams. We are launching this crowdfunding appeal to raise ₦500,000 (Five hundred thousand naira) to visit and provide essentials that will help these children live, learn, and grow safely. From visiting and assessing the needs of children outside Abuja and Nasarawa, to basic food supplies to school essentials, every contribution will directly impact a life. What the Funds Will Cover: Breakdown of how the ₦500,000 will be spent across the six states: Item.                                                                                                                   Estimated Cost (₦) School Fees & Learning Materials                                                                150,000 Nutritional Support (food supplies)                                                             100,000 Basic Healthcare & Sanitation Kits                                                               75,000 Clothing & Footwear                                                                                         50,000 Administrative/Logistics Costs                                                                     75,000 Emergency Reserve                                                                                          50,000                                                                                                                        Total ₦500,000 Why This Matters These children are either living with their older siblings, mother’s relatives, or friends, and most of them come from extremely low-income households. Without this support, schooling becomes a dream deferred, feeding is uncertain, child rights are denied, and health risks go untreated. Your donation, no matter how small, is a lifeline. Whether it’s ₦500, ₦1,000, or ₦10,000 – it adds up to real change. How You Can Help Donate to the campaign
