Where we work Since 2017, C3HD has been working in the most marginalized regions of Nigeria, delivering urgent and life-saving interventions, and promote communities internal growth and development. C3HD currently only works in Nigeria. Our team members live and work in 4 States around Nigeria. 70% of them are from the state and communities where they work. The work we do in each state is informed by our partners there: donors, local community members, government officials, and other change makers who are invested in transforming their communities for good. In the Northeast Nigeria, we partner with communities to help them recover and rebuild while addressing root causes of conflict, insecurity, and inequality. Since 2017, C3HD has been working in Nigeria to ensure all children survive, learn and are protected. We are contributing to the protection of children from all forms of violence, exploitation, neglect and abuse, especially to girls, UASC, CAAFAG, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), at risk children and those affected by conflict. Our programmes work from the community to the state and national level to promote women and children's rights, and protection. We also advocate and campaign to ensure that girls have equal access to education and protected from any form of sexual exploitation and abuse, and including child marriage. We are committed to addressing the root causes that is preventing girls from enrolling and staying in schools by removing social and structural barriers, inequality in education, and increasing access to quality education, including early childhood care and development education (ECDE). We organize back to school programs and enrolment drives to give children a second chance to be in school, we target school out of school-children including adolescent girls, girls that are pregnant and young mothers and those affected by conflict. We provide early recovery interventions to communities adversely affected by conflict while addressing the causes of poverty and mitigating their impact on children, by strengthening the livelihoods and resilience of households. We have built the capacity of teachers and health workers to respond to Sexual and Reproductive Health needs of both in school and out of school adolescent boys and girls. We establish community structures to as part of our sustainability approach for projects even beyond donor funds to tackle the root causes of GBV, Inequality, HIV, TB, Malaria, Malnutrition and Conflict, and promoting Peace building and Social cohesion among communities.
