About Us

LEGAL STATUS


CYPF is duly registered with the Nigerian cooperate affairs commission (CAC) and is governed by a board of Trustee consisting of respectful citizens of Nigeria with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of issues relating to children and youth.

OUR VISION

OUR MISSION

OUR INSPIRATION


CYPF has been charged by God with the responsibility to advocate good tidings unto the meek; to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the year of God’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of God, that He may be glorified.

CORE VALUE OF CYPF


  • Respect for people no matter their age, tribe, educational background etc.
  • Respect for cultural and religious values.
  • Gender equality.
  • Institutional learning improves future interventions.

In child protection, we talk about participation — but rarely about what happens next.
According to the ACERWC Guidelines, meaningful child participation includes:

-Giving feedback on how a child’s views were used
-Ensuring children feel seen, heard, and valued

According to the ACERWC Guidelines, meaningful participation is a spectrum.

Yet, in many spaces, we still confuse performance with power.
Real participation means:

- Giving children access to information
- Ensuring their views are taken seriously

The ACERWC Guidelines on Child Participation provide a roadmap for how governments, educators, civil society, and traditional leaders can create environments where children are seen, heard, and respected.

Redefining Masculinity: The Role of Traditional and Religious Leaders

Toxic masculinity is not just a gender issue — it's a leadership issue.
In many societies, traditional and faith leaders hold the cultural microphone. Their influence can normalize harm or inspire healing.
