Preventing child sexual abuse through community empowerment and support. The Cece Yara Foundation is a child-centred non-profit organisation established in 2016 to prevent child sexual abuse and provide access to care, information, protection and emergency intervention for children who are sexually abused or at risk, and their family. The Foundation provides the ideal response to children through a 24-hour free child telephone helpline and its child-friendly Child Advocacy Centre based in Lagos, which provides professional counselling, medical, legal and psycho-social support, as well as referral services. The Foundation also conducts prevention programs for children and adults to raise awareness on child sexual abuse, and educate adults on how to protect children from sexual abuse.

To offer teenagers living with cancer an opportunity to leave the hospital and become separated from civilisation, form their day-to-day environment. A situation is thus created, through which we aim to reconstruct the teenagers’ self-esteem and to help them regain their confidence in life by giving them a challenge and an opportunity to surpass their limits.
