About us

"We are passionate about keeping children safe" The My Body is My Body Foundation offers a Free Musical Child Abuse Prevention Programme worldwide. This international child abuse prevention program contains activities to teach child abuse prevention to children all around the world. It is one of the most successful, positive and fun-filled musical "body safety" programs around. Our program has now been animated so that it can be shared with children in schools, nursery schools and homes alike. Our goal is to educate as many children about body safety and boundaries. Child Abuse Prevention can be a difficult subject to talk about, but there are many positive ways of teaching children without feeling uncomfortable. It is very important that children are taught how to keep safe, how to deal with difficult situations and how to build self-esteem. The easy-to-sing-along songs, help children learn in a positive non-threatening way. The songs also give you a simple engagement with children and help to open the lines of communication with your child or student. The programme is FREE to everyone and the program has been translated into 26 different languages so we can keep children around the world safer. We are currently working on more languages.

    🌟 Exciting Announcement: Dr. Paul Stewart Joins #MBIMB as an Ambassador! We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Paul Stewart, former professional footballer and dedicated child safeguarding advocate with Safeguarding Fundamentals, as an Ambassador for the My Body Is My Body (MBIMB) Programme! About Paul’s Incredible Journey Paul’s story is one of resilience, determination, and compassion. As a former Premier League footballer, Paul played for top clubs including Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, and was capped three times for England. His success on the pitch is matched by his courage off the field, where he has become a powerful voice for safeguarding children. A Champion for Child Safeguarding In 2016, Paul bravely spoke out about the abuse he endured as a young footballer, shedding light on the importance of protecting children in all environments. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to advocate for change, sharing his story to inspire #better #safeguarding practices in sports and beyond. Why This Matters Paul’s dedication to empowering children aligns perfectly with MBIMB’s mission to teach children about body safety and safeguarding through music and education. As an MBIMB Ambassador, Paul brings his invaluable experience and passion to help us reach more children, parents, and educators worldwide. Together, we’re working toward a future where every child feels safe, supported, and empowered. Join Us in Celebrating Paul Stewart! We are honoured to have Paul on board and look forward to the impact we can make together.

    Watch This....these children have put their own unique touch to the My Body is My Body Song #SouthAfrica #Rotary #GirlsEmpowerment Across Southern Africa, a remarkable movement is taking shape, spearheaded by an extraordinary group of individuals dedicated to empowering children and transforming communities. Led by the visionary Maggie Moruntshi, this Rotary International Girls Empowerment Team spans South Africa, Botswana, eSwatini, and Mozambique, and their impact is nothing short of inspiring. At Emfuleni Primary School, children and teachers came together for a meaningful session where the My Body is My Body Programme - MBIMB Foundation message was shared. Following the talk, the students took two days to create their own video, adding their unique flair to the My Body Is My Body Song. The creativity and effort they poured into their performance were truly inspiring—well done, Emfuleni and special thanks to Alco Beton.

    I received this lovely message from a father of a 3 year old little girl today, and this made me very happy. Children from the age of 3 years old can start learning about body boundaries and consent. Check out our website at http://www.mbimb.org
