The year 2020 was extraordinary, with the COVID- 19 outbreak and other challenges. We planned to consolidate on our previous programmes which we had started the pre-planning exercise before the pandemic outbreak which put almost everything at a halt.
LOW-INCOME WOMEN SPONSORED EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMMES SOUTH EAST, NIGERIA (TRAIN WOMAN TRAIN NATION).
From January 4 to 15, 2020, the stakeholders’ programme meetings were held in the three South-Eastern Nigeria locations and concluded before the pandemic outbreak which limited movement and social gathering.
HUMANITARIAN SERVICE
On February 14, 2020, we visited Charitas Orphanage And Widowhood home in Igando, and Old Peoples’ Home (Chep) in Jankande Estate, Ejigbo both in Lagos State with gift items.
EMPOWERMENT
On March 8, 2020, being the International Women’s Day, we empowered some low- income women in Isuti- a Lagos suburb with skills and a revolving loan to start their small businesses.
PANDEMIC ERA
We supported women in their thousands in different locations in Nigeria with food items as palliatives, and some with money with our partnering NGO ( AFSF). Besides, the girl children were offered airtime for data to enhance their online education. We also created an online leadership community to help them interact while at home.
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD
October 11 is the day set aside to celebrate girls all over the world. We sensitised the public around Ejigbo on the girl child abuse with placards and songs. Telling the public to respect the wish of the girl child. Her no is no so, save her from abuse. Most of these programmes were accomplished with the collaboration of AFSF, CWAY and other kind donors.
We need you.
WAY FORWARD( 2021 Programme Focus)
We will focus on teaching our girls and women, how to embrace the new normal, the old programmes progress.
Thank you!
