Charity Project “Children of Tomorrow” in Nigeria – Your help is needed

Offer a future for children in Nigeria! Nigeria is the most densely populated country in Africa, and the eighth most densely populated in the world. It is home to 148 million inhabitants, and is situated in the western part of the African continent. Nigeria is subdivided into 30 states. One of these is Enugu, where the “Children of Tomorrow” home is situated. The corresponding capital Enugu was formerly the capital of the province named Biafra, where the infamous Biafran War occurred from1967 to 1970. But also today the situation is still severe. There is an estimated 8.6 million orphaned children in Nigeria and 930,000 of these are orphaned by AIDS. Many of these children are homeless.

However, by supporting the Charity Project “Children of Tomorrow“ we can contribute to a better world.

So, most probably your question now will be: “What can you tell us about “Children of Tomorrow” and how can we support this charity project?

Boniface Ogbus, the initiator of this project, was born on 29 November 1965 in Enugu City, eastern Nigeria. His own mother had hoped to foster orphans after the Biafran War, when she brought two starving children off the streets and into her home to care for them. However, both died from the effects of the war. This experience had a profound impact on Boniface.

In 1991 he sought asylum in Switzerland as a result of the persecution he faced as a Christian in his homeland. From 1996, his dream was to relieve the suffering of African children and to bring some joy to their lives. The death of his parents in 1996 gave him first-hand experience of that painful loss, and a greater appreciation for how much children must suffer without parents to protect them against exploitation and abuse.
