President & Executive Director
Global Support for Kids InitiativeThank you for your interest in joining our vision — to provide life-support services to millions of children in Nigeria, Africa and the world.
Dear Friend,
As President and Executive Director of Global Support for Kids Initiative, I want to thank you for your interest in joining our vision in the bid to provide life-support services to millions of children in Nigeria, Africa and the world. This vision is driven by the call we have from the imperatives of our social conditioning which has thrown many children and young people alike into the deep pit of rejection and sheer neglect.
These imperatives have further provided platforms for a redefinition of roles from which we found ours as a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting quality education and meeting the needs of our children, young people and families.
We at GSK have come to recognise and promptly keyed into this call in the hope that through our collective efforts, street children and helpless young people are given the requisite care that would, in not too distant time, provide them the courage to stand out as active members of their societies.
In the least possible, we hope to give as many helpless young people a reason to live and resolve the crises of social denigration that has come to redefine ethics in Nigerian and African societies today. Not limiting the scope of our services, we hope to create an enabling environment for all so much that the young would grow into defining their roles as members of their societies.
We also target a society of love, care and peace, where every member would find their reasons to live for one another and give peace its proper place. If global peace is to be achieved, we feel it has to start from care-giving and allowing everyone into the wide world of global citizenship.
The Initiative is committed to reducing and eventually ending child abuse and neglect across Nigeria. We have come to recognise the importance of fighting child abuse so that our work will have a lasting impact — and this is our major interest: to secure better places for suffering children and young people. We care for their health, education, and social lives, and we provide lifesaving assistance during times of crisis, helping rebuild safer and stronger environments for children and families.
Our Major Interest
To secure better places for suffering children and young people — supporting the full implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and all laws that guide and protect children across Nigeria and the world.
There could be nothing more rewarding than using your skills and experience to help vulnerable children expand opportunity for themselves and their families — working with them to fight abuse and neglect, and at the same time supporting the struggle for the full implementation of the Convention on the Right of the Child and other laws that guide and protect children and young people.
I particularly welcome your interest in joining this diverse, talented, professional and committed team. Every position at Global Support for Kids Initiative contributes to realising our overall vision and mission. If you are interested in a career dedicated to building a world that is fit for our children, I encourage you to take a step to support this great work.
Let us work together in the hope to sustain the vision that birthed this initiative.
