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.

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

Emergency Flood

Between the years 2011-2020, Nigeria recorded about 1,187 deaths connected to flooding, 15% of Africa's deaths by flooding within the same period. The cost of damage to properties was $905 million, which comprised 21% of property damage in Africa from flooding. Protection of life and property require adequate knowledge of the risks associated with natural hazards such as flooding, preparation will strengthen efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of flooding,. Risk is a probability of a loss, which depends on three key components, viz., hazards, exposure and vulnerability, and a change in any of these components will bring about a change in the risk.
The flood have washed away entire villages and settlements, especially in rural and peri-urban areas where houses were mostly made of mud, bamboo, and other materials unable to withstand the flooding, leaving them highly vulnerable. As people were forced to abandon their houses they also left behind most of their personal belongings and livelihoods, losing access to basic hygiene items and food. The floods will undoubtedly aggravate an already fragile food security situation for many households.

Fire Safety

More than $8.2 billion worth of properties have been lost to fire in various part of Nigeria between 2009 to 2022 and the worst of fire season is still ahead. TSSF helps provide emotional financial, food, temporary shelter, clothing, medical supplies and give assistance to victims who are injured, become ill or suffered a traumatic event. Fire is everyone’s fight is an initiative led by the TSSF with the intent to unite the Fire Service in collaborative effort to reduce home fire injuries, deaths and property loss. TSSF Invites fire departments safety advocates community groups, schools, etc. to rally behind a common and compelling theme. This will assist us in communicating and reinforcing key lessons from proven fire safety and prevention initiatives and programs.

Food Support

40 million people were already facing severe food insecurity. Of these people, close to half a million are facing high levels of food insecurity, just a step away from catastrophic levels of hunger. Food insecurity in children can lead to developmental impairments and long term consequences such as weakened physical, intellectual and emotional development. Famine and hunger are both rooted in food insecurity. Chronic food insecurity translates into a high degree of vulnerability to famine and hunger, ensuring food security presupposes the elimination of that vulnerability. Food insecurity has forced individuals to undertake risky economic activities such as prostitution. Desperation will drive more people beyond the safety of garrison towns heightening the risks of abductions, kidnappings, killings, sexual and gender-based violence. Affected communities had already resulted to negative coping mechanism, including survival sex, begging, in the streets, child labour, forced and early marriage. These but a few of the grim but avoidable repercussions if we do not act. To donate, please go to website home page top right hand corner and click:

Orphans and Widows Support

There are so many orphan children in nearly every rural communities in Nigeria, many of these children have been abandoned by their parents or their patents have died. Orphan Children are greatly in need of care and protection, being among the most vulnerable to extreme poverty, child labour, trafficking and sexual exploitation. The Shield Safety Foundation help vulnerable children experience love through the provision of shelter, food, health, and well-being. Your donation to TSSF for Orphans and Widows Fund goes directly to this work any amount you give will help lift a child or a forsaken widow out of extreme poverty.

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 the 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 above are held captive to deliver babies which are then sold illegally to adoptive parents, forced into child labour, trafficked into prostitution or, ritually killed. This Foundation 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.
