Getting children off the streets of Lagos; giving them a better chance in life.
Our Mission
We help children living rough and on their own on the streets of Lagos, seeking to reconnect them with family and get them back into school or vocational training. Our daytime reception centre for boys and girls at Gbagada provides two meals a day, a place to shower and wash, counselling and family tracing. At our residential home for boys in Ikorodu, children are put back into full-time education or vocational training and cared for until they can be reunited with family or until they complete their chosen course of study or training.
Child Life-Line (CLL) is a non-profit, charitable association funded entirely by voluntary donations from individuals and organisations.

We run training courses in arts and crafts and ensure the children have basic skills in maths, English and rudimentary money management.
With community support we organize after school and holiday classes to help children catch up on schooling. We look to support children through primary school and higher education.
In addition, we are building the capacity of families through training on parental care, child protection and safe guarding, and the rights of the child under the Child Rights Act of Lagos State. Working with community leaders and local government, we are also building the economic capacity of families through crafts and skills acquisition courses for women
We are always looking for new fundraising initiatives and volunteers. If you think you might be able to help then please get in touch.
Our Board of Trustees and members of our Executive Committee bring a wealth of experience to CLL and oversee a strong team dedicated to identifying and helping the most needy street children.
