Train Nigerian Child Culls Streets Kids

Train A Nigerian Child, a charity organisation committed to helping out-of-school children has taken its campaign to the streets to offer direct support to children in need.

Recently it combed street corners for hungry children to provide them food and toiletries as immediate relief This, the founder of the charity, Juliana Ali, a property developer and designer, says is an addition to the main objective of getting out-of-school children back to the classroom.

“Many children around Lagos go on empty stomachs for hours and even days, feeling neglected and unloved. So on February 14, our team went out to the streets of Obalende, around the Third Mainland Bridge, Ojuelegba, Yaba and finally the Modupe Cole Memorial Child Care and Treatment Home School at Akoka to show the kids some love. We met with the children, had fun with them and learned a lot about their condition for further intervention.”

Originally, the charity supports the education of children in city slums by paying their school fees, providing books, uniform and in some cases furniture.
