About Us
SSN is a UK-based charity with a passion for defending and upholding the rights of children in the Niger Delta region. Our work with Nigerian partner organisations saves and transforms the lives of vulnerable and stigmatised children; provides outstanding levels of education and significantly raises literacy levels of less privileged children. Through advocacy and campaigning we promote a greater understanding of child rights and aim to prevent the abuse of children today.Recent Posts
