About SCSDF
Stonewall and Child Support Development Foundation
Stonewall and Child Support Development Foundation (SCSDF) is a Nigerian non-governmental, non-profit organisation committed to promoting human dignity, mental wellbeing, child wellbeing, protection, education, empowerment and community resilience.
SCSDF was birthed from love and passion for humanity and is rooted in the belief that communities can heal, grow and thrive when people have access to appropriate support, protection, opportunities and essential services.
The organisation works with children, women, young people, families and communities experiencing adversity, including communities affected by conflict, trauma, socioeconomic challenges and limited access to essential services.
SCSDF places Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) at the centre of its programming. Its work extends from community-based psychosocial support and Psychological First Aid (PFA) to trauma-informed interventions, child protection, infant mental health, women's protection and empowerment, education, health, nutrition, youth development and community mobilisation.
The organisation combines community engagement with practical service delivery, awareness creation, capacity strengthening, partnership development and evidence-informed programme implementation.
SCSDF's approach is particularly focused on ensuring that interventions are responsive to the realities of the communities in which it works. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, the organisation seeks to understand local needs, engage community stakeholders and develop interventions that promote participation, dignity, ownership and sustainable change.
Vision
A safe, inclusive society where everyone thrives through care, protection, and equal opportunity.
SCSDF envisions communities in which children, women, young people and families are protected, supported and able to realize their potential in safe and inclusive environments.
Mission
To advance the wellbeing, protection and development of children, women, young people and communities through integrated programmes in mental health and psychosocial support, education, protection, health, empowerment, nutrition, research and community development.
SCSDF works to translate this mission into practical action through community-based interventions, partnerships, capacity strengthening, advocacy, psychosocial support and programmes that address both immediate needs and longer-term resilience.
