In an effort to address crime among street-connected children and youth in Ikorodu, Lagos, School In The Street, Ikorodu centre has launched a pioneering Crime Prevention and Youth Empowerment project with key support from TAG International and Brighter Futures, alongside Cleen Foundation.

Under the banner of “Preventing Serious and Organised Crime Among Street-connected Children and Youths in Ikorodu, Lagos,” the initiative, running throughout March 2024, aims to empower street-connected individuals to steer clear of criminal activities, including cybercrime.

Utilizing a comprehensive approach encompassing mentorship, counselling, educational sessions, skill acquisition workshops, and recreational activities, the project endeavors to foster positive development and equip participants with the tools they need to build a brighter future.

 

Initial feedback from participants has been encouraging, with each street-connected child and youth establishing clear short and long-term goals. These objectives serve as guiding principles, propelling them towards becoming valuable contributors to society.

With Cleen Foundation serving as a key partner and TAG International and Brighter Futures providing essential support, the project stands as a testament to collective action in rebuilding lives and creating safer communities.
