What We Do
Save the Children has been working in Nigeria since 2001 to ensure all children survive, learn and are protected.
Child protection
Our protection programmes work from the community to the national level. We also campaign to ensure that girls have equal access to education and are protected from child marriage.
Health and nutrition
We're working to improve the health and nutrition of mothers, newborn babies and children, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. Through our campaigns, we advocate for a wide variety of issues that affect children, such as immunisation and breastfeeding.
Education
To advance learning, we're increasing access to education programmes for children in the classroom and at home. And we work with families affected by natural disasters and conflict, setting up child-friendly spaces where children can learn, plan and receive the support they need to recover from trauma.
