Building Resilience: Equipping the Next Generation
By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader
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.

From Fear to Flourishing: Restoring Trust in kids
By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader
Far too many students in Makurdi walk into school each day with fear, not excitement. With 80% reporting experiences of bullying or violence, the emotional toll is staggering. According to the World Bank, students suffering from school-based violence are more likely to drop out and less likely to achieve their academic potential.
Our project is designed to reverse this trend. By training teachers and establishing peer-support clubs, we’ll create a safety net for students. Psychosocial services will help 150 vulnerable students recover from trauma, while ongoing awareness campaigns will address stigma and encourage healthy emotional expression.
We’ll also work closely with parents and local authorities to ensure that safeguarding policies are more than just words—they are lived realities in every classroom.
When you support this project, you invest in more than education—you invest in students’ mental health, resilience, and future success. Together, we can restore trust in the promise of education and ensure every child in Makurdi has the support they need to flourish.

Empowering Students, Empowering Schools:
By JACKSON AMEH | Project Leader
In Nigeria, the prevalence of bullying, gender-based violence, and trauma in schools has reached alarming heights. According to a 2019 UNICEF study, more than half of Nigerian children have experienced violence at school. In Makurdi, the rate spikes even higher, with 80% of students reporting bullying or abuse.
This project introduces a holistic approach—training 100 teachers, equipping 3,500 students with emotional and conflict-resolution skills, and establishing 20 peer-support clubs. We’ll also provide psychosocial support to 150 of the most at-risk students, ensuring no child is left behind.
Peer-led clubs will drive a culture shift: students supporting one another, speaking out against abuse, and fostering inclusion. With improved systems for reporting incidents, we’ll make it easier for students’ voices to be heard and acted upon.
Your support fuels this transformation, enabling us to scale our approach and reach every corner of Makurdi LGA. You’ll help institutionalize child protection, strengthen teacher capacity, and create a model for safe, inclusive education that can be replicated across Nigeria.
Join us in building schools where every student is safe, valued, and empowered to succeed.
