Kingdom Kids Klub (K3), a leading children’s home and advocacy organisation dedicated to orphaned and vulnerable children, on Friday marked its 15th anniversary with celebrations and the unveiling of a new logo.
The milestone event highlighted the organisation’s transformation from a small initiative supporting just 18 children to a major force in trauma-informed care, education, family reunification, and advocacy for family-based alternatives to institutional care across Nigeria and Africa.
Founded in February 2006 by Pastor Sandra Dirmwa Chikan, who drew inspiration from her own experience of losing both parents at a young age, Kingdom Kids Klub has provided immediate, short-term, and medium-term support to children impacted by violent conflicts, domestic violence, terrorism, and other crises.
Headquartered in Jos, Plateau State, the organisation has prioritised quality over quantity, ensuring every child receives genuine love, stability, and spiritual nurturing.
Under Pastor Chikan’s leadership as Founder and Global Director, K3 has expanded through programmes such as the “Stand Out Aging Out Africa (AOA) Mentoring Network,” teen camps, transition support for older youth, higher education assistance, and collaborations with bodies like the Association of Orphanages and Homes in Nigeria (ASOHON).
Recent initiatives emphasise sustainable, family-centred models, including permanent site development, community partnerships to prevent unnecessary institutionalisation, and economic empowerment for caregivers to promote long-term family stability.
At the anniversary reflections, Pastor Sandra Chikan expressed profound gratitude “This 15-year milestone is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the collective efforts of many who believe in restoring hope.
We’ve seen transformed lives, restored families, and brighter futures, yet the work continues as we advocate for every child to belong in a forever family.”
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Grace Dongkum, attributed the journey to divine guidance and praised the founder’s total commitment.
“From the early days of children’s hangouts in 2007 and fundraising dinners in 2009 with the initial group of 18 children, her focus was always on quality ensuring every child feels the presence of God and the love of people genuinely invested in them,” Dongkum said.
She highlighted the organisation’s entry into a new global phase and called for increased involvement: “I encourage you to engage, contribute, and invest in this space so that together, we can grow it far beyond where it is now.”
