This project will establish a hospital-based safe space that brings comfort, healing, and emotional stability to sick, hospitalized, and chronically ill children in Nigeria. By providing books, toys, arts, trained staff, and caregiver education, we will reduce pain-related distress, improve coping and resilience, and support healthier recovery for vulnerable young patients as they engage in fun, comforting play activities with peers.
Children facing hospitalization, chronic illness, or disabilities in Nigeria often suffer in silence, lacking access to psychosocial care that helps them cope with pain, stress, and isolation. This gap delays healing, increases trauma, and leaves families without the support they desperately need.
This project will set up a play-based psychosocial hubs staffed by trained playworkers and psychologists, offering structured play, emotional support, and coping tools that reduce fear, anxiety, and trauma for hospitalized and chronically ill children. By creating a safe, child-friendly psychosocial hub inside the hospital, this project will provide therapeutic play sessions, art activities, and caregiver guidance that ease distress, promote resilience, and support faster and healthier recovery.
The project will serve an average of 400 children yearly. By building children's emotional strength and coping skills, this project will reduce long-term trauma, support healthier development, and improve treatment outcomes, helping sick and chronically ill children grow into resilient, confident, and productive adults.
