DCI envisions a just and responsible society where Nigerian children can exercise their rights and are cared for by all and sundry.
Our mission
We are dedicated to ensuring on-going, practical, systematic and concerted international and national action directed towards promoting and protecting the rights of the child as articulated in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), its optional protocols, and all other human rights instruments.
