by your side
We work to end the danger, threat, and violence from various deaths and traffic that blights communities and affects families across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
We also work Nationwide to save lives, fight against injuries and deaths and support the less-privileged who have lost everything due to natural disaster, war and conflicts or disease and improve their health, safety and well-being. With your donation you can end the suffering and relief people from their pain. We run a 24/7 helpline by providing support to help bereaved and seriously injured victims cope with their grief, deal with bewildering practical matters and access the help they need.
Emergency Response
An emergency can happen at any time or at any place in a situation demanding immediate action. The goal is to provide the basics of First Aid and Emergency Care to any emergency appropriately in order to save a life. We provide the three 'C's Check, Call and Care and three P's of First Aid:
• Preserve Life: As a first responder to any situation, our first priority is to preserve life
• Prevent Deterioration: To do what we can, to keep the victim in stable condition until medical professionals arrive.
• Promote Recovery
COVID-19 Response
We help to prevent the spread of COVID-19, by providing necessary support to cushion the impact of the crisis in some of the high risk communities and to ensure their access to basic need, food aid continues to make up the majority of humanitarian appeals and remains an important tool in responding to crises during the lock down in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the lives of some of the most vulnerable communities across the nation, such as single parents, orphan, artisans and widows.

The Shield Safety Foundation help vulnerable children experience love through the provision of shelter, food, health, and well-being.

Families and Community Support
Families and communities remain central to the well-being of all who are part of them-from the very young to the old. But in these modern day Kidnapping for ransom has become Nigeria's latest security problem. This is happening to apocalyptic proportions in North Western and South-Western Nigeria where rural bandits engaged. Kidnapping can be targeted at individuals or at groups. School children have been kidnapped in groups in various communities of Nigeria. Women and girls from the age of 16 years old, and are held captive to deliver babies which are then sold illegally to adoptive parents, forced into child labour, trafficked into prostitution or, ritually killed. TSSF provide survivors with food, cloth, medical treatment and supplies including education to rebuild their life to a productive lifestyle...Lets join hands and change the world today.
Education and Training
A looming education crisis - We conducted a research in the mid-2019 and we discovered that education has suffered greatly in the midst of the crisis. At least more than 150 primary schools remain closed because of the insecurity in the far north, it is estimated that about 30,000 school-aged children are out of school. Teachers have fled without returning, and most schools lack basic equipment to host students... The Shield Safety Foundation is committed to providing education for children and young adults in delicate settings, many of whom are at risk of dropping out or being left behind. Our vision is for education to be fundamentally lifesaving and life-transforming. Ultimately, we want education to equip children and young people to be the architects and guardians of their own and their communities' futures.
