BIQ01 - What is the official name of your organisation/project (and any registration number if you have one, plus main contact, email address and phone number)?
The official implementing organisation is Save the Child Diamond Foundation (STCDF). The PHC Project is P503 - Safeguarding Systems Initiative. Main contact: Engr. Lemi Jonathan Agbor, Director / Executive Director. Email: lemijonathan@gmail.com. Phone: +2348037745245. A formal registration number has not yet been provided and should be confirmed before funder submission.
BIQ02 - Are you registered (NGO / CBO / company / informal group)? If not, do you want to register?
Save the Child Diamond Foundation is described as formally registered in 2025 after grassroots child protection work dating back to 2011. it is registered with Corporate Affairs Commission and SCUML in Nigeria
The exact registration category and registration number have not yet been confirmed. For governance purposes, this should be recorded precisely before grant applications or formal partnership agreements are issued.
BIQ03 - What location(s) do you operate in (town/county/region)? Any plans to expand?
The project is based in Enugu State, Nigeria, with planned expansion across all 17 Local Government Areas. The central PHC Project can also support regional sub-projects for wider roll-out across Nigeria and, later, other countries or continents where the same safeguarding model can be adapted to local systems.
BIQ04 - What problem are you solving in one sentence?
The project addresses systemic structural silence around child abuse by giving students confidential reporting routes and equipping parents, teachers and schools to prevent, identify and respond to sexual exploitation, molestation, abuse, incest, violence and related safeguarding risks.
BIQ05 - What does "success" look like for you in 6 months and 12 months?
In 6 months, success would mean confirmed school and government partnerships, a prioritised pilot plan, initial teacher training, parent/caregiver awareness activity, a case-handling workflow and at least one practical reporting route tested. In 12 months, success would mean a functioning school safeguarding model with trained educators, documented outreach activity, early case reporting, survivor referral pathways and a credible plan for wider LGA roll-out.
BIQ06 - What is your biggest constraint right now (money / people / equipment / skills / trust / transport / time / other)?
The biggest likely constraints are funding, secure reporting infrastructure, trained safeguarding personnel, transport for school outreach, reliable data/case management systems and specialist survivor support. This needs confirmation from Lemi and STCDF, because the brief shows ambition and community traction but does not yet quantify available resources.
BIQ07 - What are the top 3 priorities you want help with immediately?
The top immediate priorities are: 1) convert the brief into a costed implementation plan for pilot schools and regional roll-out; 2) define the safeguarding workflow, including anonymous reporting, triage, referral and follow-up; 3) build funder/partner confidence through governance evidence, project records, impact indicators and clear roles.
BIQ08 - What partners do you already work with (government, clinics, schools, NGOs, churches, local leaders)?
Confirmed partners or intended formal partners include the Enugu State Ministry of Education and the Post Primary Schools Management Board (PPSMB). STCDF also appears to work through secondary schools, grassroots community partnerships, advocacy networks and local mobilisation channels. Additional partners such as police, clinics, social welfare offices, counsellors and NGOs should be mapped explicitly.
BIQ09 - What systems do you currently use (paper notebook, WhatsApp, Excel, Google Drive, website, none)?
The current operating systems are not yet fully documented. Based on the grassroots history, systems may include phones, WhatsApp, local records, school outreach documentation and informal partnership records, but this must be verified. A PHC setup should define registers for schools, teachers, cases, concerns, actions, partners, events and deliverables.
BIQ10 - Do you have permission/consent from people on your register to store/use their data for support services?
This is not yet confirmed. Because the project deals with minors and highly sensitive safeguarding information, explicit consent, child protection rules, controlled access and data handling procedures must be established before any register, case file or kiosk reporting system is used operationally.
PSQ01 - What service can you name, with brief description of each that will help the beneficiaries of your project?
Core services include: teacher safeguarding training; parent/caregiver PROTECTOR education; student safe-touch and online danger awareness; secure anonymous reporting through Human Rights Kiosks; survivor support and referral; school rescue mission outreaches; advocacy and community mobilisation; monthly protection networks; and an annual Child Protection Conference.
PSQ02 - List your current services (what you do today), and for each: how often and for how many people per month?
Current services include weekly secondary school Rescue Mission Outreaches, monthly advocacy networks, annual child protection conference activity, community mobilisation, advocacy, parent/caregiver education and survivor support where possible. The number of people served per month has not yet been provided and should be captured as a baseline impact measure.
PSQ03 - Which services are most needed but you cannot currently deliver?
The most needed services that may not yet be deliverable at scale are full Human Rights Kiosk deployment, training for 3,000 teachers, structured case management, professional trauma counselling, legal and child protection referrals, safe emergency response pathways, secure data systems and regular follow-up capacity across all 17 LGAs.
PSQ04 - What are the top 5 needs reported by beneficiaries of your project (health, safety, work, school, counselling, etc.)?
The top beneficiary needs are: safety from sexual abuse and exploitation; confidential reporting without fear of retaliation; trusted adult response from trained teachers and parents; trauma support and referral for survivors; and practical safeguarding education covering safe touch, early warning signs, online danger and how to speak up.
PSQ05 - What is the service pathway right now? (How does a person join → receive help → follow-up?)
The current pathway appears to be outreach or community contact leading to awareness, disclosure or identification of risk, followed by advice, support, referral and follow-up where possible. The PHC improvement should formalise this into a clear pathway: entry point → safeguarding triage → immediate safety action → referral/support → documented follow-up → anonymised learning review.
PSQ06 - What makes your approach different from other organisations (if any)?
The approach is different because it combines long-standing grassroots trust with a systems model. It does not rely only on awareness campaigns after abuse occurs; it aims to prevent harm through teacher training, parent empowerment, anonymous school-based reporting infrastructure, case pathways and PHC-style monitoring.
PSQ07 - What "minimum service package" could you reliably deliver every month if basic funding existed?
A minimum monthly service package could include school outreach sessions, parent/caregiver safeguarding education, one teacher awareness or training session, confidential intake and referral handling, follow-up on active cases, partner coordination and a short monthly safeguarding report showing reach, activity, issues and actions.
PSQ08 - What does a typical case look like from first contact to resolution?
A typical case may begin with a child disclosure, warning sign noticed by a teacher, report through a kiosk, or concern raised by a parent or community member. The case should then be triaged, urgent safety risks addressed, relevant authorities or support services engaged, survivor support offered, follow-up recorded and the learning anonymised for system improvement.
PSQ09 - What are the risks/harm points in service delivery (stigma, security threats, exploitation, misinformation)?
Service delivery risks include stigma, retaliation against children, unsafe disclosure, family pressure, school reputation concerns, local administrative obstruction, mishandled or false allegations, data breaches, exploitation by unvetted helpers, misinformation, emotional burnout among staff and possible security threats when abuse involves powerful local actors.
PSQ10 - How do you measure whether a service worked? (simple indicators)
Simple indicators include number of schools reached, teachers trained, parents/caregivers reached, students reached, safeguarding reports received, cases triaged, referrals made, follow-ups completed, survivors supported, kiosks installed, response times and monthly issues/actions closed through the PHC register.
PSQ11 - What services could be delivered remotely (WhatsApp/phone) vs require physical presence?
Remote delivery can include parent education, teacher refresher sessions, awareness messages, partner coordination, some follow-up calls and basic reporting through phone or WhatsApp. Physical presence is required for school visits, kiosk installation, sensitive child disclosures, safeguarding training, emergency response, community mobilisation and meetings with schools or authorities.
PEQ01 - What equipment do you have? mobile phone? pc? printer? monitor? - list all you have.
The equipment inventory has not yet been confirmed. At minimum, the project has phone contact through Engr. Lemi Jonathan Agbor. A practical equipment audit should list available phones, laptops, desktop computers, printer/scanner, internet router, storage devices, lockable records storage, projector/speaker equipment and any shared or borrowed items.
PEQ02 - How do we contact you? Telephone number? Office Address? Main Contact? Number of people in the management team? Number of people that the project will address?
Main contact: Engr. Lemi Jonathan Agbor, Director / Executive Director. Phone: +2348037745245. Email: lemijonathan@gmail.com. The office address, management team size and current beneficiary count have not yet been provided. The planned project population includes secondary school students and frontline educators, including 3,000 teachers across 17 LGAs.
PEQ03 - Where are you working from? Would the office address be your home? a community centre? an internet cafe?
The project operates from Enugu State, Nigeria. The exact working base has not yet been confirmed. For a safeguarding project, the operating base should be private, secure and suitable for confidential records, partner meetings and sensitive coordination, whether initially home-based, shared office-based or located in a community/project centre.
PEQ04 - What equipment is working reliably, and what is broken / missing / shared / borrowed?
Not yet confirmed. A starter audit should identify which equipment is reliable, broken, missing, borrowed or shared. This matters because safeguarding records, school outreach, training materials, reporting, printing and follow-up cannot be reliably managed if core phone, laptop, internet and printing capacity are unstable.
PEQ05 - How stable is your electricity and internet (daily / weekly outages)?
Electricity and internet stability have not yet been documented. This should be checked early because school reporting, digital records, remote follow-up and any kiosk system will depend on power, connectivity, backup charging and offline procedures during outages.
PEQ06 - Where is your data stored (paper files, phone, laptop)? Is there a backup?
Current data storage is not yet confirmed. Sensitive safeguarding records may currently be held in paper files, phones, laptops or messaging apps, but that must be verified. The project needs secure storage, controlled access, regular backup, anonymised reporting and clear separation between identifiable case records and public impact information.
PEQ07 - Do you have a safe place to store sensitive records?
Not yet confirmed. A safe place for sensitive records is essential. At minimum, the project should use lockable physical storage, password-protected digital files, restricted access rules, backup procedures and a named person responsible for safeguarding records.
PEQ08 - Do you have transport (walking, bicycle, motorbike, car, public)? Biggest travel barrier?
Transport arrangements are not yet confirmed. Since the project includes school outreaches and expansion across 17 LGAs, transport is likely to become a major operational constraint. Barriers may include cost, distance, road conditions, safety and the need to respond quickly to urgent safeguarding concerns.
PEQ09 - What are your printing/scanning options (none / pay-per-use shop / own printer)?
Printing and scanning options are not yet confirmed. This should be clarified because the project will need training materials, consent forms, attendance sheets, referral letters, safeguarding policies, reports and possibly kiosk-related documentation. Options may include pay-per-use shops initially, moving later to an owned printer/scanner.
PEQ10 - If you had a small "starter kit" (phone + laptop + printer), who would be responsible for it?
Responsibility for any starter kit should sit with a named asset custodian, probably under the authority of Engr. Lemi Jonathan Agbor as project lead. Ideally, the named custodian would manage check-out, maintenance, data security and usage logs for phone, laptop, printer and related equipment.
PEQ11 - What does your workspace need to become functional (desk, chair, lockable cabinet, internet router, etc.)?
The workspace likely needs a desk, chair, lockable cabinet, reliable phone, laptop, printer/scanner, internet router, backup power/charging, secure digital storage, basic meeting space and privacy controls. The most important requirement is not comfort but confidentiality, reliability and disciplined record handling.
PEQ12 - What would be the ideal operating base in 6 months (home office / shared centre / rented office)?
The ideal 6-month operating base would be a small secure coordination office or shared centre in Enugu, suitable for project administration, confidential case coordination, partner meetings, training preparation, digital record keeping and reporting. A home office may be acceptable temporarily, but not ideal for sensitive child protection operations.
PEQ13 - What security risks exist at your premises (theft, harassment, privacy exposure)?
Potential premises risks include theft of equipment, unauthorised access to sensitive records, privacy exposure during case discussions, harassment from people implicated in abuse, community stigma, unsafe visitor access and poor physical separation between public activity and confidential safeguarding work.
PQ01 - Who are the key roles today (leader, admin, outreach, finance, volunteer coordinator)? Names + roles.
Confirmed key person: Engr. Lemi Jonathan Agbor, Director / Executive Director of Save the Child Diamond Foundation and lead contact for SSI. Other named roles have not yet been provided. The project will need defined roles for safeguarding lead, training/outreach, administration, finance, data/case records, volunteer coordination and partner liaison.
PQ02 - How many are active weekly (not just "on the list")?
The number of people active weekly has not yet been confirmed. This should be separated from general supporters or names on a list. The PHC baseline should record who is active every week, what role they perform, how many hours they contribute and whether they are volunteer, paid or partner-supported.
PQ03 - What skills do you have in the team (counselling, healthcare links, social work, advocacy, fundraising, admin, IT)?
Known skills include Lemi’s engineering, IT, instruction, communication, public speaking, writing, project development and critical thinking background. STCDF also appears to have grassroots outreach, advocacy, education and community mobilisation experience. Team-wide skills in counselling, safeguarding, case management, finance, monitoring and IT need to be confirmed.
PQ04 - What skills are missing that you need most urgently?
Likely urgent missing skills include specialist trauma counselling, child protection case management, legal/referral coordination, safeguarding policy development, data protection, M&E reporting, grant writing, fundraising, kiosk technology support, finance administration and trained facilitators capable of scaling teacher training across 17 LGAs.
PQ05 - What training would help most (basic safeguarding, data handling, case management, fundraising, reporting)?
The most useful training would include basic and advanced safeguarding, trauma-informed response, mandatory reporting, safe disclosure handling, data protection, case management, volunteer screening, school safeguarding policy, fundraising, grant reporting, PHC registers and evidence-based impact reporting.
PQ06 - How do you recruit and manage volunteers (screening, agreements, supervision)?
Volunteer recruitment and management processes have not yet been confirmed. Because this work involves children and sensitive cases, volunteers should be screened, assigned written roles, trained in safeguarding, supervised, required to follow a code of conduct and prevented from unsupervised access unless properly authorised.
PQ07 - Do you have a safeguarding lead / safeguarding rules? If not, who could be assigned?
A safeguarding lead or formal safeguarding rules have not yet been confirmed in the information provided. The project should assign a named safeguarding lead immediately, with Lemi as executive sponsor if appropriate, and create rules for disclosure handling, referral, confidentiality, escalation, record keeping and volunteer conduct.
PQ08 - What is your communication rhythm (weekly meeting, WhatsApp group, ad-hoc)?
The known rhythm includes weekly school rescue mission outreaches, monthly advocacy networks and annual child protection conference activity. Internal management rhythm is not yet confirmed. A PHC setup should add weekly action review, monthly risk review and event-based safeguarding review after serious incidents or major outreach sessions.
PQ09 - What conflicts or workload risks exist (burnout, role confusion, disagreements)?
Key workload and conflict risks include founder overload, volunteer burnout, unclear authority, emotional strain from survivor cases, role confusion, disagreements with schools or parents, reputational sensitivity, and pressure to act before the support/referral system is ready.
PQ10 - If funding arrived, which 3 positions would you pay first (and why)?
If funding arrived, the first three paid positions should be: 1) Safeguarding/Case Management Lead, to protect children and manage cases properly; 2) Outreach and Training Coordinator, to scale school and parent engagement; 3) Admin/Data/Finance Officer, to keep records, evidence, governance and donor reporting under control.
FQ01 - Do you have any current income (donations, grants, sales, membership, events)? Rough monthly average.
Current income is not yet documented. The brief indicates historic grassroots resourcefulness and embedded local partnerships, but does not give a monthly income figure. STCDF is seeking strategic partnerships, grant funding and CSR collaboration to scale school outreaches and safeguarding infrastructure.
FQ02 - What are your fixed monthly costs (rent, airtime, transport, printing, internet)?
Fixed monthly costs have not yet been quantified. Likely cost categories include airtime, internet, transport, printing, school outreach materials, meeting costs, volunteer support, office/workspace costs, data storage, communications, training preparation and basic administration.
FQ03 - What costs are unpredictable emergencies (medical cases, relocation, safety incidents)?
Unpredictable emergency costs may include urgent transport for a child or survivor, temporary safety relocation, medical support, counselling, legal/referral costs, emergency phone/data costs, urgent printing or documentation, security incidents, and repair or replacement of essential equipment.
FQ04 - What are the top 10 things you spend money on when you have it?
Top spending categories are likely to include transport, airtime/data, printing, training materials, school outreach logistics, volunteer support, meetings, survivor support/referrals, administration, equipment, internet/power backup and event costs. These should be verified from actual spending records rather than assumed.
FQ05 - Do you keep records (cashbook, receipts, mobile money statements)? Who holds them?
Financial record keeping has not yet been confirmed. The project should maintain a simple cashbook, receipts file, bank/mobile money statements, expense approval records, asset register and monthly summary. A named finance/admin person should hold the records, with oversight from the project lead.
FQ06 - Do you have, or intend to open, a bank/mobile money account in the organisation name? If not, what do you use?
The existence of an organisation bank or mobile money account has not yet been confirmed. For donor confidence, the preferred arrangement is an account in the organisation’s name, supported by receipt records, dual approval rules where possible and regular financial reporting.
FQ07 - What is the smallest funding amount that would make a real difference this month?
The smallest useful funding amount has not yet been provided. A practical first-month starter amount should cover transport, airtime/data, printing, basic training materials, record keeping and priority outreach activity. This needs costing carefully so the figure is credible rather than guessed.
FQ08 - What is your 12-month "ideal budget" (even if rough)?
The 12-month ideal budget has not yet been costed. It should include teacher training for the 3,000-teacher target, pilot Human Rights Kiosks, staff/coordination costs, transport, office/workspace, communications, survivor support/referral costs, data systems, monitoring/reporting, school outreach and conference/advocacy activity.
FQ09 - What funding have you tried before (who, when, result)?
Previous funding attempts have not yet been documented. The available narrative states openness to strategic partnerships, grant funding and CSR collaboration. A funding history should record who was approached, when, what was requested, the outcome and any lessons learned.
FQ10 - What would you consider "good governance proof" to show donors money is safe (reports, receipts, photos, beneficiary confirmations)?
Good governance proof would include bank records, receipts, budget-vs-actual reports, attendance registers, training records, photos where safe, anonymised case statistics, referral logs, monthly activity reports, beneficiary/teacher confirmations, partner letters, asset registers and PHC Concern/Action/Deliverable tracking.
MQ01 - Who is your audience: donors, local community, government, clinics, schools, families, beneficiaries?
The audience includes donors, CSR sponsors, government, schools, teachers, parents, students, frontline educators, community leaders, NGOs, churches/faith communities, clinics, police/social welfare actors and families affected by child abuse or safeguarding risk.
MQ02 - What channels do you currently use (WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, radio, church announcements, community meetings)?
Current channels are not fully documented. Known or likely channels include LinkedIn, school outreaches, monthly advocacy networks, community mobilisation, direct partner communication and annual conference activity. WhatsApp, Facebook, radio, churches and community meetings should be confirmed and mapped if used.
MQ03 - Do you have any assets: logo, photos, short video, testimonials, case stories?
Known assets include the Save the Child Diamond Foundation identity/logo and Lemi’s LinkedIn profile narrative. Photos, videos, testimonials, case stories, pitch decks, school letters and formal endorsement documents have not yet been confirmed and should be gathered carefully with safeguarding/privacy controls.
MQ04 - What is your "one sentence" message to donors?
One sentence to donors: Help us build a proactive safeguarding system across Enugu schools so children can report abuse safely, teachers can act early, and survivors can receive support before trauma is allowed to deepen.
MQ05 - What is your "one sentence" message to beneficiaries?
One sentence to beneficiaries: You are not alone, what happened to you is not your fault, and this project exists to help children speak safely, be believed, receive protection and move toward a better future.
MQ06 - What questions do people ask most often about your project (and what answers do you give)?
Likely questions include: What abuse risks are you addressing? How do children report safely? How are identities protected? What happens after a report? Are teachers trained? Do parents take part? How do you prevent false or mishandled reports? The answers should emphasise confidentiality, trained response, referral pathways, parent/teacher education and careful record control.
MQ07 - Do you have a list of contacts (supporters / organisations)? How many?
A supporter or organisation contact list has not yet been confirmed. The project should build a structured partner/contact register covering schools, government offices, NGOs, counsellors, clinics, police/social welfare contacts, CSR prospects, donors, media contacts and trained volunteers.
MQ08 - What partnerships would unlock growth fastest (hospital, police, school, local government, NGO)?
The fastest growth partnerships would likely be with the Enugu State Ministry of Education, PPSMB, secondary schools, child protection and social welfare authorities, police family/child protection units, hospitals/clinics, trauma counsellors, trusted NGOs, community leaders, churches and technology/CSR partners for kiosk deployment.
MQ09 - What events could you run quarterly (awareness day, clinic day, school session, community meeting)?
Quarterly events could include school safeguarding awareness days, parent PROTECTOR workshops, teacher safeguarding training, child protection clinic/referral days, community reporting forums, Human Rights Kiosk demonstrations, advocacy network meetings and a larger annual Child Protection Conference.
MQ10 - What proof would be easiest for you to publish monthly (numbers helped, photos of deliveries, short story, receipts summary)?
The easiest monthly proof to publish safely would include number of schools visited, teachers trained, parents reached, students reached, outreach sessions held, reports received and triaged, referrals completed, follow-ups made, funds spent by category and short anonymised stories where consent and safeguarding rules allow.
