At Child Upgrade Charity Initiative, our work is guided by a commitment to children and young people, their rights, their development and their ability to build a better future.
Child Upgrade Charity Initiative (CUCI) is committed to work that promotes awareness, protects children's rights and supports the development of young people.
We believe that knowledge, confidence and a healthy sense of self-worth can help young people make informed choices, find their voice and participate positively in society.
Our mission, vision and values provide the foundation for the way we approach this work.
Our mission defines what we seek to do. Our vision describes the future we hope to contribute to.
Our mission is to create awareness on issues affecting children and young people, project and protect the rights of the child, enlighten Nigerian youth and help equip them with healthy senses of self-esteem, self-confidence and self-development.
We envision Nigerian children and young people who are enlightened, confident and empowered; young people who understand their rights, overcome limiting mindsets, find their voice and contribute meaningfully to society.
These values reflect the principles that should guide CUCI's engagement with children, young people, communities and everyone who contributes to the work.
We approach children and young people with care, dignity, understanding and respect for their individual experiences and potential.
We believe every child and young person deserves to be treated with dignity and to have their voice and rights taken seriously.
We value honesty, responsibility and accountability in the way we approach our work and our relationships.
We seek to encourage young people to develop confidence, knowledge, self-belief and the ability to make informed choices.
We believe young people should have opportunities to participate, express themselves and contribute to issues that affect their lives and society.
We believe in the potential of young people and in the possibility of creating positive change through knowledge, confidence and purposeful action.
We believe that young people should have access to knowledge that helps them understand themselves, their rights and the world around them.
We also believe that confidence matters. A young person who understands their value and has the confidence to express themselves is better positioned to participate positively in their community and society.
Whether through volunteering, supporting our work, participating in our programs or simply helping spread awareness, there are meaningful ways to contribute.
