MY ACHIEVEMENT RAISING KIND KIDS IN AFRICA
Chiemeka Chiedozie, the Project Director HUMANE GLOBAL CONCEPT in
Nigeria and Africa is one man that is passionate about caring for
animals.
Through his non-governmental organization, Chiedozie
promotes animal welfare in Africa specifically for children below the
ages of 19 years – His mission is impact knowledge on the children to
have relevant information about animal kingdom and how to care for them.
Chiedozie who had been running this project for the past four years has
taken the campaign to different primary and secondary schools; “I have
been to over 200 primary and secondary schools to educate young people
about animal kingdom. I showed them documentary and take them to zoos to
see animal life to let the children have good relationship with animals
so that they won’t develop the passion of killing the animals,” he
said.
He explained further that an average Nigerian doesn’t
have passion for an animal, all they know is how to kill animals and
this is a project to educate them; “I said to myself that this
destructive attitude must be stopped because every Nigerian is an animal
killer.”
According to Chiedozie, the project is first of its
kind in Africa, “Nobody has done this in Africa, I just took the
challenge upon myself to start the project,” he said.
On how he
gets the project funded, Chiedozie who has travelled to Ghana to
address people on animal rights said he gets only material donations
from United Kingdom and United State of America to run the project. “I
have done animal conferences and exhibitions which had over 300 people
attended. I finance it myself and also task people to donate to the
project. Finance is the major challenge rocking the project,” he
explained.
He wants the government at all levels to partner
with the non-governmental organisation to be able to fund the project as
part of the support. He has also gotten support from a non-government
organization, People for Ethical Treatment of Animal (PETA), in United
Kingdom.
Chiedozie who had been featured in Animal Times Magazine in
United Kingdom had just been made world animal ambassador for Nigeria.
He wants Nigerians to care for animals “animals have feelings and
emotions just as people have because they can’t talk people take
advantage of them, if every Nigerian has feelings for animals’ people
will not be killing their neighbours and families for rituals,” he
advised
