Safekids Consult Hosts Successful Child Safety Workshop in Lagos Suburb

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” as the saying goes, Safekids Consult emerges from Adejumoke Sangolana’s professional expertise and childhood passion for children’s welfare.

What began as an idea for a children’s safety book two years ago has evolved into a comprehensive outreach.

Our goal is to equip all caregivers with the necessary safety knowledge to safeguard the children under their care.

On the 24th of February 2024, the maiden edition of this noble initiative was held at Meiran, a Lagos suburb.
