The trauma of bullying and gender-based violence doesn’t end at the school gate. Studies show that children exposed to violence are at higher risk of depression, anxiety, and even suicide (UNICEF, 2022). In Makurdi, where 80% of students report such experiences, the need for intervention is urgent.
Our project’s threefold approach—teacher training, student life skills, and peer-led clubs—addresses the roots of the problem. By teaching conflict resolution and emotional regulation, we empower students to defuse tensions before they escalate. Teachers are equipped to spot early warning signs and respond supportively, while peer-support clubs become safe spaces for sharing and healing.
Donor support funds workshops, counseling, and awareness campaigns that challenge stigma and normalize help-seeking. With your help, we will not only reduce incidents of bullying and GBV but also build a generation of emotionally resilient, socially responsible youth.
