What We Change
We have received testimonies of many students who have embraced the practices we advocate. We continue to change the way schools and teenage communities engage with teenagers. We are also changing the perception that these positive values and practices are not “cool.” Instead, we demonstrate to them the inherent “coolness” and immense benefits of adopting such practices for both themselves and society as a whole.
Through our initiatives, we are effectively advancing the goals of quality education, improving overall health and well-being, fostering responsible consumption and climate Action. The trajectory of our nation is undergoing a positive transformation for the better.

What We Achieve
Our work is centered on the orientation and reorientation of young minds, serving as a powerful platform to inspire and equip teenage and pre-teen students across Nigeria with the values and knowledge they need to make informed life choices. Through our initiatives, we are advancing the achievements of SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by addressing critical social, health, and environmental issues.
By promoting abstinence and responsible decision-making, we help reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and lower teenage pregnancy rates. This not only improves the health and well-being of young people -SDG 3 but also ensures that more girls remain in school, advancing SDG 4- Quality Education. Additionally, our advocacy for delayed gratification serves as a strategic intervention against cybercrime, guiding students away from the culture of instant gratification and towards a mindset of long-term success and ethical decision-making.
Our environmental initiatives contribute directly to SDG 12 and SDG 13, as we educate students on responsible waste disposal, recycling, and sustainability. With a growing number of young people actively participating in our Climate Action & Recycling Campaign, we are seeing a decline in plastic pollution and a shift towards eco-conscious living. These students are not only learning but leading—emerging as responsible citizens who are shaping their communities for a healthier, more sustainable future.
