About CACI
Change A Child Community Initiative
We are a team of driven individuals who know the significance of children to the future of the world and want to improve the world by starting from the foundational mind of young children.
How We Started
Change A Child Community Initiative is a youth-centered organization that began in 2022 after we won a grant competition organized by UNESCO-APCEIU and created a learning material titled – “Building our Ideal Community” to teach young children the concept of peacebuilding in their own words. As a follow-up mechanism to maximize impact, we started the WHIDE (What Have I Done for Earth) school clubs where children in underserved communities are taught about the SDGs and encouraged to use their ideas to solve their imminent environmental challenges. This club currently runs in schools in Ajegunle, Lagos, Nigeria, and is expanding to more. Our goal is to give young people the tools to re-engineer their future.
Our Vision
We want to actively contribute to GCED accessibility
To be an active contributor to reducing the number of out-of-school Nigerian children while ensuring EVERY CHILD accesses global citizenship education on our journey to inspiring a sustainable Nigeria.
Our Mission
We want to inspire a sustainable Nigeria
To inspire a sustainable Nigeria through one child in one community, changing the narrative one lesson at a time, one teacher at a time, until we all strive towards peaceful co-existence. We draw inspiration from our journey so far as we look to do even better.
