- The North East Children’s Trust (NECT) is a private sector led social engineering initiative incorporated in 2017 with a mission to create innovative, transformational sustainable learning ecosystems that will nurture, renew and empower vulnerable children between ages 5 and 18 years that have been orphaned by the insurgency in North East Nigeria. Since 2012, the Boko Haram insurgency has enveloped north east Nigeria to varying degrees. At the height of the crises, about 80% of 1.8 million internally displaced persons were from Borno state, followed by Adamawa and Yobe states with 8% and 6% respectively. Children aged 18 years and below comprised over 50% of the IDP population. About 50,000 children are estimated to be orphaned by the insurgency without access to good education, quality health care, food and basic shelter. Without assistance, these children will not have a normal childhood nor experience the joys of growing in a home nurtured by a family. Therefore, NECT aims to create ecosystems carefully designed to provide comprehensive support for the children through access to safe living spaces, quality education, good health facilities, well-rounded psychosocial support and relevant socio-economic life skills.
