SSNCEF - Protecting and Empowering the Nigerian Child!

Stepping Stones Nigeria Child Empowerment Foundation (SSNCEF) is one of the leading child rights organizations in Nigeria established and run by young, dynamic and committed Nigerians who have been working persistently to respond to the trend of child abandonment in Akwa Ibom State and its environs since 2006. It is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria as a Non Governmental/Non Profit Organization and has been working in partnership with Stepping Stones Nigeria (UK).

We envisage a Nigeria where all children have access to their rights and opportunities for development; and are protected from all forms of abuse and exploitation and our central mission is to protect and promote the rights of disadvantaged children through advocacy, service delivery and research.
We are positioned for more effectiveness and efficiency in our avowed task of challenging stereotypes, raising awareness, advocating for children, fostering partnerships, and finding sustainable solutions to challenges being faced by the child in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.

We offer short and medium term support services to street, abandoned, and other vulnerable children, and explore and exploit existing opportunities in the communities, with a view to increasing the quality of their lives, giving them a sense of belonging, and reducing their vulnerability.

We strongly believe that the most sustainable approach to tackling issues bothering on rights is by changing prevailing but erroneous beliefs in the society and by striving to advocate for public policy that provides an enabling environment for child protection and empowerment. Consequently, advocacy is central to our work.

Ultimately, we are poised to protect and empower the Nigerian Child, to the best of our ability and resources.
