Helping children facing poverty and abuse to thrive
We're committed to making a positive impact on the lives of children in Africa.
Nakupenda Empowerment Charity Foundation was founded with a clear goal: educating and protecting children and for them and their families to thrive, all over Africa.
Care & therapy
Dedicated daycare
One of our core programs. We offer daycare services to families with abused children, so parents can go to work. Daycare staff are all volunteers with special training.
Playtime volunteers
Playtime is one of the most important experiences children with a history of suffering abuse can have. It puts them at ease and increases their possibility of having positive interactions.
Art therapy class
Much has been said about art as a form of therapy - we couldn't agree more. Another core program of our organization, this class helps children with a history of trauma to open up to new people and experiences.
Join our volunteer community
Join our growing community of volunteers in the UK and Nigeria, and make an impact in the lives of children who have been abused and their families. There are numerous ways to help out.
Support a child
With as little as US $5/month, you can make a huge impact on a child's life. Your donation will help a child stay in daycare, receive personal care, food, and enjoy art therapy classes.
Support a program
When you support a program, you support 25 children and their families. Your donation will help our program run smoothly, and continue to offer rehabilitative help to those who need it.

Founder
“I've seen what a few hours of the right experience can do to a child with a traumatic history. It's magic, and it's long-lasting. We all really CAN make a difference.”
What's new
Your support can make a difference
