Introduction
The Jim lyke Foundation is a non-governmental, non-religious and
non-political organization comprising of persons who are engaged in
the advancement of the protection of rights and welfare of children
with various deformities. This project is necessitated by the
flagrant neglect and abuses of the rights of children born with
deformities in Nigeria. Our paramount concern is to promote the
well-being and improve medical condition of deformed children with
particular reference to facial deformities. Considering the
inadequate structures put in place by legislation in particular and
the general apathy towards the welfare of these children by the
public in general, the rights and privileges of a child born with
deformity have been grossly battered and trampled upon.
The Jim lyke Foundation is therefore a direct response to the
yearnings and aspirations of these helpless children and an effort
towards the alleviation of the suffering of certain members of the
society now derogatorily referred to as deformed. By identifying
with the cause of these children, we sensitize the public on the
plight of children born with various degrees of deformities in a
polity where access to a standard and affordable medical treatment
is almost non-existing. | Learn more |
