Peter’s Story

Peter (names have been changed for anonymity) is a 15 year old child we found working at Oshodi, Lagos. He started visiting the Home after being invited by our support workers, during their outreach to the streets. From his visits, we got to learn about him, and why he ended up on the streets. We…
