Get Involved: How Your Donation Can Save Lives Today

Every day in Nigeria, thousands of vulnerable youth wake up in environments filled with pain and uncertainty. They live on the streets, battle substance abuse, face neglect, and struggle with trauma that no child should ever endure. These are not faceless statistics. These are real children with dreams, laughter, and potential, waiting for someone to believe in them.

At New Beginnings Youth Foundation (NBYF) Treatment Centre, we believe every child deserves more than a second chance. They deserve dignity, love, and hope for a brighter future. This is what we provide every single day. But the truth is this: we cannot do it alone. We need you.

Your donation is not just money. It is the key that opens the door to a safe bed, a plate of food, a classroom, and a counselor who listens without judgment. Your generosity is the bridge between despair and possibility.

Why Your Support Matters To Us

According to UNICEF, Nigeria is home to more than 18 million children living on the streets, exposed to violence, hunger, and exploitation. Every year, thousands of these children are drawn into substance abuse and crime simply because they lack guidance and care.

Research from the World Health Organization equally shows that untreated childhood trauma increases the likelihood of depression, addiction, and criminal behavior later in life by more than 60 percent. Without intervention, these young people are at risk of becoming another statistic in an already troubling cycle of poverty and violence.

At NBYF, we refuse to let that happen. We have seen lives transformed because someone cared enough to give. Every naira donated creates real change:

• ₦10,000 could provide a week of nutritious meals for a child.

• ₦20,000 is about the value  for a month's  therapy sessions.

• ₦50,000 funds a child's school supplies and uniforms for an entire term.

Your gift is not just meeting our needs, it is rewriting stories of these young minds.

What Happens When You Give

When a child walks into NBYF, they are often carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Many have slept under bridges or in abandoned buildings. Some have been abused, neglected, or recruited into gangs. They arrive broken, scared, and uncertain.

Your donation gives them more than food and shelter. It gives them hope. It gives them a future. Here is what your support makes possible at our treatment center:

• Safe Housing: Every child deserves a bed, a blanket, and a place where they can feel secure.

• Therapy and Counseling: Healing begins when they can talk about their pain with trained professionals.

• Education: We reintroduce children to school, helping them rediscover the joy of learning.

• Vocational Training: Skills in areas like fashion design, art, and barbing prepare them for financial independence.

• Mentorship and Life Skills: Our mentors guide them in building character, confidence, and leadership qualities that last a lifetime.

The Power of One Gift

Imagine this. A boy named Samuel walked through our doors after years on the streets. At twelve years old, he had never owned a pair of shoes. He had been surviving by picking scraps and doing menial jobs for strangers. Today, Samuel is in school, learning to read and write. He also participates in our vocational training program, where he is mastering tailoring. All of this was made possible because someone like you decided to give.

Samuel’s story and others alike are happening every day at NBYF. Personalities are being reformed positively and destinies re-written for good on a daily basis. Trust me, the next story of transformation could be written because of your generosity. That's why we need your support. 

Why Your Support is Critical

A study published in the African Journal of Social Work found that community-based rehabilitation programs reduce relapse rates in substance abuse cases by up to 45 percent when combined with mentorship and life skills training. This is exactly what we do at NBYF.

Another report by Save the Children notes that every $1 invested in youth rehabilitation yields a return of up to $10 in social and economic benefits, including reduced crime, improved health, and higher employment rates. That's a great Return on Investment right? 

When you donate to NBYF, you are not only saving a child from harm, you are strengthening families, rebuilding communities, and shaping a brighter future for our country Nigeria.

Join the Movement Today

Every time you give, you are changing more than a life. You are changing the future. You are telling a young person who has been abandoned, abused, and forgotten that they matter.

Right now, there is a child in our center eating a hot meal because someone like you chose to care. There is another sitting in a classroom, learning to spell their name, because someone made a donation. And there is another finding their voice in therapy because someone believed that healing was possible.

You can be that someone today.

When you give, you are not just donating, you are declaring that no child should be left behind. You are saying yes to hope, yes to healing, yes to a future filled with possibilities.
