Afruca - Safeguarding Children

AFRUCA Safeguarding Children was established in May 2001 originally as a platform for advocating for the rights and welfare of African children following the deaths of children like Victoria Climbie, Jude Akapa and Damilola Taylor in the UK. It became a registered Charity in July 2002 and a Company Limited by Guarantee in October 2001. In 2020, AFRUCA expanded the scope of its work to cover children, young people and families in Black and other ethnic communities across the UK. The main focus of our work is Child Abuse Prevention and Early Intervention.
