Save Street Children in Nigeria

We are happy to inform all supporters of this project that two young girls named Deborah and Patricia have started benefitting from this project. Deborah is 11 years old and was orphaned as a result of the activities of violent extremist groups. Her parents were killed when she was 40 weeks old and have been surviving under the worst conditions since then. She has been roaming the streets hawking for an old woman who seldom supports her and dozens of other orphans who agree to hawk her merchandise on the streets. With the support of this project, Deborah has started going to a primary school and has been temporarily taken in by a host family who receive a monthly stipend from the Centre for Sustainable Development and Education in Africa (CSDEA) for her upkeep. Deborah is so excited at this new development in her life and she is so grateful to all those who have made this possible for her.

Patricia is 5 years old and her father got killed by violent extremists in the North East of Nigeria. Her mother is blind and she is the last of four siblings. Her three elder siblings hawk water on the street, while Patricia accompanies her blind mother to go begging. Patricia has started going to a primary school and has also been temporarily taken in by a host family who receive a monthly stipend from the CSDEA for her upkeep and wellbeing. Patricia is also very happy about this new phase of her life and she says thank you to all those who made this possible for her.

Please keep donating to fhis project and also reach out to friends and family to support these wonderful children realize their potentials in life. Thank you all for your support to this project!
