New Life Education Project for Remand Home Children

Rainbow Gate Foundation Nigeria, a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Nigeria, was founded in 2009 to help youths and underserved individuals in Nigeria. One of Rainbow Gate Foundation’s programs is the New Life Education Project for Remand Home Children. Remand Homes were established by the Nigerian government to help care for abandoned children, as well as children who have behavioral problems. The objective of the New Life Education Project was to help the at-risk children in the Remand Home. This was accomplished by working with children known for anti-social behaviors to increase their knowledge about social life through a Guardian and Counseling initiative.  Additionally, the New Life Education Project developed a skill acquisition program to train the children in the areas of catering, computer skills, snail rearing, aqua-culture, and poultry management. The objective was to have at least doubled the children’s skills and improved their attitudes by the end of the year. The children are counseled, trained, and empowered in order to transform their attitudes positively. The Rainbow Gate Foundation Nigeria believes children are our future, and that working to change their minds can change our world for the better.
