Pikin-To-Pikin Movement

Our thematic areas include child protection, education, health and nutrition, WASH and Institutional Capacity Development Our history
Pikin-To-Pikin Movement was formed in 1994 when Sierra Leone was engulfed by a devastating rebel war. The organisation was legally registered as a Non-Governmental Organisation in 1998 with the Government of Sierra Leone, under the Ministry Of Development and Economic Planning. During the war, the rights of children were grossly violated. Many children were forcefully conscribed into the fighting forces: the national army, the rebel forces or the civil militia. Many children also died because of preventable childhood diseases such as diarrhoea. The situation in Sierra Leone for many years was such that there was very little protection for children. It was in a bid to salvage the situation of children that Pikin-To-Pikin Movement was formed. Who we are
We are a child-centered community development organisation based in Sierra Leone, West Africa. The name “Pikin-To-Pikin” is a lingua franca translation of “Child-to-Child.” We aim to use child-to-child methodologies in our activities, enabling children to step forward not only to teach their peers but also their families and communities.
