Project: Safe Voice BCF

P507_Safe_Voice_BCF is an organisation-specific pilot project under the central P505 Safe Voice Programme. It is designed to support Boby’s Charity Foundation in presenting, strengthening, funding and governing its whole community development offering, including education, healthcare, economic empowerment, youth development, nutrition support, hygiene improvement and structured support for children, young people, families and underserved communities.

Boby’s Charity Foundation is a nonprofit organisation with a public presence in Lagos, Nigeria and Cape Verde. Its stated mission is to break the cycle of poverty by empowering individuals and communities to create a better future for themselves. The foundation’s work is organised around practical charitable and development activity, including education for empowerment, healthcare for well-being, economic empowerment for independence, and the grooming of young footballers through coaching, education and personal development.

Within this pilot, Safe Voice is not treated as a replacement for BCF’s existing identity. Instead, it provides a PHC governance, evidence and funding-readiness framework around BCF’s full organisational mission. The project will help BCF describe its activities clearly, organise its work into fundable project elements, capture Concerns, define Actions, identify People and partners, track Deliverables, record evidence, clarify priority needs and present progress through PHC Port.

The project will initially give particular attention to BCF’s “Go Back to School” initiative, because it already provides a strong programme anchor. This initiative supports underserved young learners through educational materials, after-school learning support, hygiene promotion, nutrition support and wider community engagement. However, P507 is not limited to education. It is intended to support the whole foundation offering, including health, welfare, empowerment and youth development.

The Safe Voice element of the pilot will help BCF develop safer and more structured ways to hear from beneficiaries, families, volunteers, teachers, community members and local partners. This may include beneficiary feedback, community need capture, safeguarding-related concern identification, education access concerns, family hardship evidence, and structured reporting of practical barriers affecting children and young people.

P507_Safe_Voice_BCF therefore functions as both a support project for Boby’s Charity Foundation and an early test case for the wider Safe Voice model. It will show how a community-rooted organisation working across more than one country can use PHC Port to become clearer, more fundable, more accountable and better equipped to demonstrate social impact.
