KIND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME IN UNIVERSITIES AND POLYTECHNICS
LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME IN UNIVERSITIES AND POLYTECHNICS
In partnership with the UK Department for International Development (DFID) through Voices for Change (now Purple) KIND was able to improve the Leadership, Decision making and Life-Skills competencies of adolescent boys and girls between the ages of 16 – 25 in University of Lagos (UNILAG) and Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH).
We employed the use of interactive virtual and physical platforms, referred to as ‘safe spaces’ in the school training. Over 450 young people have benefited from the leadership development programme in both schools and we are still in the process of training more.
PICTURE OF THE TRAINED STUDENTS:
Students on the programme’s impact
Buki Temitope, one trained female student said ‘The training has helped me to develop my leadership skill and made me more assertive’

KIND Child Rights Project in Kano State
Child Rights Project (Kano State)
This is a European Union (EU) sponsored project. KIND partnered with VSO International Nigeria to carry out the project in Kano State. The Objective of this initiative is to strengthen local child rights focused based civil society organizations and promote the effective civil society and community action as an effective force in fostering an enabling environment for the passage of the Child Rights Act in the state.
We equipped 40 students and 32 teachers in 16 schools from 6 Local Government Areas in Kano State and Kano State-based CSOs on the basic requirements of child rights.
