Safe Child Africa
Safe Child Africa, founded as Stepping Stones Nigera (SSN), is a UK registered charity that works with and through Nigerian partners to protect and uphold child rights in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It was founded by Gary Foxcroft in 2005. Safe Child Africa is based in Manchester, England.
== History ==
The charity began in 2003 when Gary Foxcroft visited Nigeria to undertake research into community perceptions of the oil industry for his Masters degree at Lancaster University. After witnessing the plight of abandoned children living rough on the streets and the poor state of the region’s education system, Foxcroft vowed to return and build a school for disadvantaged children. He also met an inspirational local head teacher, Grace Udua, who generously offered to donate her family land as the site for the school.
Upon return to the UK, Foxcroft and his wife Naomi set about raising the funds needed to help establish a model school. Safe Child Africa (then called Stepping Stones Nigeria) was registered as a charity with the UK Charity Commission in December 2005. Gary and Naomi then returned to Nigeria during 2006 to build the Stepping Stones Model School with support from the local community.
While living in Nigeria and working on the school, Gary and Naomi became aware of a number of children living on the streets who had been abandoned and abused due to the belief that they were "witches". They then began to work with local Nigerian NGOs to help to support these children and to campaign for their rights.
