The Walk Against R**e and Indirect Discrimination Foundation (WarAID Foundation) continues its commitment to protecting vulnerable children, preventing sexual and gender-based violence, and strengthening child protection systems in our communities.

Today, our Executive Director facilitated a Child Rights Awareness and Protection Outreach in collaboration with Slum2School Africa and supported by The Freedom Fund at St. Paul Catholic Nursery and Primary School, Costain, Lagos State.

The session reached over 400 primary school children with a powerful message: every child has rights, every child has a voice, and every child deserves protection.

Through an interactive and child-centered approach, children were engaged using storytelling, call-and-response learning, and participatory activities designed to make child protection practical, clear, and memorable.

A key highlight was the Right Shield Balloon Experience, where children lifted colour-coded balloons representing their rights while declaring affirmations of safety, confidence, and courage:

I am a warrior
My rights protect me
My voice matters
I will speak up
I will stay safe

WarAID Foundation remains committed to building safer communities, strengthening protection systems, and ensuring that every child is informed, empowered, and protected.

Every child deserves safety. Every child deserves a voice. Every child deserves protection.

CHILD RIGHTS AWARENESS CAMPAIGN REPORT

The Walk Against R**e and Indirect Discrimination Foundation (WarAID Foundation) facilitated a Child Rights Awareness Campaign at St. Paul Primary School, Lagos State, in collaboration with Slum2School Africa and supported by The Freedom Fund.

Over 400 primary school children were reached through an interactive, child-centered learning experience designed to strengthen awareness of child rights, personal safety, and protection mechanisms.

The session was facilitated by Bunmi Onilude, Executive Director of WarAID Foundation, bringing practical expertise in child safeguarding, prevention of abuse, and community-based protection programming.

Using innovative tools developed by the facilitator—The Child Right Shield, No Means No, and Speak Up Speak Out—children were engaged through storytelling, participation, and experiential learning.

A key highlight was the Right Shield Balloon Experience, where children lifted colour-coded balloons representing their rights and declared:

“I AM A WARRIOR.
MY RIGHTS PROTECT ME.
MY VOICE MATTERS.
MY FUTURE MATTERS.
I WILL SPEAK UP.
I WILL STAY SAFE.”

The session strengthened children’s understanding of boundaries, safety, and the importance of speaking up against abuse.

Impact Highlights
• 400+ children reached

• Increased awareness of child rights and protection
• Improved confidence to speak up and seek help

WarAID Foundation remains committed to child protection, violence prevention, and building safer communities for children to thrive.

Ending violence is not a wish.
It is action. It is courage. It is consistency.

Not what you did once in awareness—
but what you do daily in response.

Call it out. Stand firm. Educate. Intervene. Protect. Be part of the movement that refuses to normalize harm.

In May what speaks louder is not intention.
It is what you actively do to end violence.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. 💜

WarAID’s International Women’s Day 2026 wasn’t just about showing up—it was about pouring into each other and rising together.

Under the theme “Give to Gain,” we saw women give their stories, their strength, their presence… and in return, gain clarity, connection, and renewed fire.
But beyond the moments and smiles, the message was clear:

We cannot ignore the realities of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).
So we choose to be intentional—
Intentional about speaking up
Intentional about supporting survivors
Intentional about creating safer spaces
Because every voice raised is a step closer to ending SGBV.

, are not just having conversations—we are building a movement.
We give. We rise. We end SGBV.

WarAID marked International Women’s Day 2026 with more than a gathering—it was a movement. 💜

Under the theme “Give to Gain,” we created a space where women could breathe, connect, and be refilled… while also rising with a shared responsibility—to stand against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

We were reminded that giving is powerful: When we give our voices, we challenge silence.
When we give support, we create safe spaces.
When we give awareness, we build a generation that refuses to tolerate violence.

Ending SGBV starts with us—in our conversations, our actions, and the spaces we create.
This is how change happens.
This is how we give—and truly gain.

In partnership with The Deborah International Outreach, we remain committed to building a world where every woman is safe, heard, and valued.

💜

You can be healed wholly—and that healing often begins with the right environment.

We are creating a safe and compassionate space where individuals can openly talk about childhood experiences, process hidden emotions, and begin the journey toward emotional and spiritual restoration. Many of us carry wounds we never gave words to, and over time, those wounds quietly shape our lives, decisions, and relationships.

This is why we are intentional about this space.

Here, conversations are honest. Healing is not rushed. No one is judged. Through guided discussions, shared reflections, and mentorship, we are helping people confront what was buried, understand their stories, and begin to release what has been weighing on their hearts.

Our goal is simple but powerful—to see people healed, whole, and restored, so they can live, love, and lead from a place of freedom.

If you’ve ever felt like something within you needs attention, this is your invitation to start that journey.

The Border Watch Awareness Rally and Community Engagement, a project of WarAID supported by The Deborah International Outreach, held at Oglogbo, Seme Border, Badagry on Thursday, December 5th, 2025, marked a significant step in advancing community-led action against human traffickingnand Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

Situated within a border community known for its movement of people and cultural diversity, Oglogbo presents both opportunities and vulnerabilities. The Border Watch initiative was strategically designed to address these realities by raising awareness on the risks, signs, and prevention of human trafficking, while also strengthening community responsibility in ending SGBV.

The outreach adopted a grassroots, inclusive approach—engaging men, women, youth, and local leaders across different ethnic groups. Through multilingual sensitization, participants were educated on:

Identifying trafficking patterns common in border communities

Preventing exploitation, especially of women and children

Reporting mechanisms and community vigilance

The long-term impact of SGBV on individuals and society

A key highlight of the engagement was the active participation of men. This challenged existing assumptions and demonstrated that men are not just observers, but critical allies in the fight against both human trafficking and SGBV. Many expressed commitment to safeguarding their communities, speaking up against abuse, and supporting prevention efforts.

The initiative also emphasized the importance of community gatekeepers, recognizing that sustainable impact requires the buy-in and leadership of local authorities and influencers. Engagement with the community leadership laid the foundation for continued dialogue and future interventions.

The diversity of the Oglogbo border community became a strength, as awareness messages were shared across languages and cultural groups, fostering unity around a shared goal—protecting lives and preserving dignity.

This is the change we believe in.
This is the change we lead.

A future where:

Border communities are informed and vigilant

Human trafficking is disrupted at the grassroots level

SGBV is collectively rejected and actively prevented
Men and women work together as protectors of their communities

Badagry spoke.
Our borders spoke.
And together, we rise to build safer, more accountable communities.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners:
Oglogbo Community, Lux Terra Leadership Foundation, RAK Development Foundation, The Pioneer STEM Show, and MAEJTNigeriabfor their collaboration and commitment to advancing this cause.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we lead change.

Oglogbo Community: Border Watch; diversity became strength.

Oglogbo is a unique border community, a true reflection of multiple ethnic groups living side by side. Its peculiarity comes with both complexity and opportunity—different languages, cultures, and perspectives all intersecting in one space.

And in that diversity, we found a powerful pathway for impact.

Through the Border Watch awareness, something remarkable happened—every ethnic group found a voice. The message traveled beyond barriers as different languages became the bridge for understanding. What could have divided became the very tool for unity.

The awareness was massive.
The participation was inclusive.
The message was owned by the people.

From one end of the community to another, conversations on safety, vigilance, and collective responsibility echoed in familiar dialects—making the message not just heard, but understood and embraced.

This is what true community engagement looks like:
Not imposing solutions, but translating impact into the language of the people.

Oglogbo reminded us that when communities are carried along, when diversity is respected, and when communication is intentional—change is not just possible, it is sustainable.

We are not just running programs.
We are building shared responsibility across borders, cultures, and voices.
