History About Us
At the heart of what we do is the wellbeing of every young person. This journey started far back when I was a student in the university hungry for a tour guide through life's journey. I wished that I was equipped for life in the university - knowing and embracing my true identity so as not to be tossed about by every wind of lifestyle choices. I looked forward to a boost in my moral, spiritual, academic, social, and leadership stands, so much so that I discovered that I was not alone in that confused state. Most young people were like me, grappling in the dark.
When given a leadership position in my campus fellowship, I saw to the publication of the first ever campus magazine which aim was to address these issues and also serve as a guide for Christian youths on campus. The outcome was great, and many students kept it as a reference guide throughout their stay on campus. The desire to promote the wellbeing of young people didn't end there but continued and took a different dimension when I become a mom.
With the news in the media on child abuse, neglect, violence against and amongst children, anxiety, childhood depression, underage sex and pregnancy, low self-esteem and suicidal thoughts etc among young people. With all these news staring at me in the face, I knew that it was time to roll up my sleeves and work directly with children and adolescents, contribute to promoting their wellbeing.

Nigerian adolescents are strong and resilient compared to other children their age in other countries. But quite sadly, survey shows that more and more Nigerian children and youth are fraustrated, withdrawn, anxious or feeling socially awkward among their peers.
Our vision is to see that every adolescent in Nigeria is deliberately equipped and guided to acquire essential life skills for a successful and fulfilling life. We simplify best practices and tools that will help adolescents to: a. Promote their well-being, including mental wellness, b. Develop self-awareness to make well-informed choices, and c. Acquire essential life skills for a successful and fulfilling life.

Our approach is holistic. We do not only coach the child but create a supportive eco-system by partnering with schools and parents. Our programs are constantly reviewed, adjusted, and tailored to meet each individual child's needs using international best practices.
