ABOUT US
Transforming Lives Through
Therapeutic Play
Orchids is a student-led nonprofit organization founded at the University College Hospital (UCH), Nigeria, with a mission to transform the lives of paediatric patients through the power of therapeutic play. We believe every child, no matter their circumstances, deserves joy, laughter, and hope.
OUR WORK
Play Therapy Programs
Our guided play therapy sessions use art, music, and storytelling to help children heal emotionally while supporting their overall well‑being.
Each Kit contains books, crayons, and creative tools for hospitalized children
Your gift helps turn hospital stays into moments of joy and imagination. When you give an activity Kit, you help create a lasting impact, supporting mental well-being, inspiring courage, and making recovery a little brighter.
