Behind every camp photo is a breakthrough that statistics rarely capture. ❤️⚽

During our parental engagement sessions, we played an eye-opening game: “How well do you know your child?” Questions like, “Who would your child rather talk to when they’re in difficulty?” or “Who is their best friend?” hit home in ways words couldn’t.

Many parents came face-to-face with a sobering truth: children who walked into camp as strangers bonded so deeply with their coaches that they trusted them with their secrets. But we don’t want the magic to stay at camp.

That is why we get parents involved to bridge the gap and extend that safe space right back to the house. When parents learn how to listen instead of being too quick to shut children down, everything changes. The stiffness melts. Taboo topics like period conversations and body changes become open dialogues. Trust is built.

When the magic from camp extends into the home, children don’t just learn they flourish for a lifetime.

Swipe through the pictures to see these moments of connection, and drop a 💚 in the comments if you believe home should always be a safe space for every child!

The 2026 Ipaja SKILLZ Holiday Camp presented another amazing opportunity to learn, play, and grow! ☺️

The energy remained unmatched at Pako Field, Omituntun, Iyana Ipaja, as young people came together for an unforgettable week from August 31st to September 7th! 🙌🏽

From football, health sessions, and menstrual hygiene talks to tech skills (exploring computers and making the most of their phones), hands-on craft, nourishing meals, and hygiene support—every slide tells a story. These are the moments that remind us how young people thrive when given safe spaces, the right tools, and proper support to grow. 💚

At YEDI, we are committed to keeping that momentum going so they can continue to learn, connect, play, and discover their full potential.

Drop a 💚 in the comments if you love seeing young people thrive, and let us know which slide is your favorite!

Happy International Youth Day! 🎉

Today, we are celebrating "you"—the vibrant, brilliant, and unstoppable young people across Nigeria who inspire everything we do at YEDI. 💚

From the adolescents and youth in our communities discovering their potential, to the incredible youth coaches and near-peer mentors guiding them on the field, you are the true heartbeat of our mission.

Thank you to every young person shaping the present and the future. Keep showing up, leading with passion, and being unstoppable changemakers!

“I am deaf and dumb, yet YEDI didn’t refuse me. They gave me the chance to learn and enjoy myself.”— Elijah

This is why we do what we do. 💚
When Elijah joined our SKILLZ Holiday Camp, he wasn’t sure he belonged. Five days later, he showed us what true resilience looks like.

At YEDI, our 5-day intervention organized during the long holiday, provides safe spaces for every young person to learn healthy habits; regardless of ability.

Fifteen years of impact are built on the incredible people who have walked this journey with us.

Though she has transitioned to new chapters, Chinasa will always be part of the YEDI family. Over the years, she wore many hats and left an indelible mark on our mission.

Watch the video to hear her reflections as we celebrate our legacy and look ahead to our upcoming Youth Hub and headquarter launch in Yaba! ❤️

Drop some love for her in the comments!👇
