ChiYoWo Celebrates International Women’s Day, 2021

Sunday, 28 March 2021 by access_admin

ChiYoWo celebrated International Women’s Day (IWD) with the utmost respect for the barriers and challenges women have overcome to date. IWD sees a number of missions to help forge a gender-equal world. Celebrating women’s achievements and increasing visibility, while calling out inequality, is key.

According to the IWD, a challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change.

So let’s all choose to challenge. That is exactly what we did. As a Team, we will continue to raise awareness against bias and take action for equality. And to our Team, thanks for all you do and continue to do.

Happy IWD!

A Report on the Book Donation to Erinmo, Osun State, Nigeria on behalf of the Children, Youths and Women Empowerment Initiative (ChiYoWo)

Sunday, 28 March 2021 by access_admin

On March 2, 2021, a 2-member team from the Ebelola Bioenergetic Solutions, Kajola, Osun State, Nigeria volunteered to represent the Children, Youths, and Women Empowerment Initiative (ChiYoWo) to deliver books, including a few audiovisual materials from their donors and partners to the Elerinmo of Erinmo, HRH Oba (Dr) Michael Odunayo Ajayi, Arówótawáyà II.

As earlier instructed by the King, the team arrived at the residence of Elerinmo at about 11:30 a.m. to pay courtesy to the King. After paying obeisance we proceeded with the King to the palace, where the Oba-in-Council had a meeting at 12 noon. We were warmly welcomed by the council chiefs, elders, and the other council members.

Following the order of events, prayers were offered, obeisance was paid to the King by his subjects, the minutes of their last meeting were read and adopted.

The book donation was done by, Dr. Ebenezer Idowu Ajayi, while Mr. Oluwaseyi Olaniyan provided support throughout the process.

One of the Elders was called upon by the King to give appreciation to ChiYoWo, on behalf of the King and the whole community. He profusely thanked ChiYoWo and the donors/partners and prayed heartily.

ChiYoWo remains profoundly thankful to Dr. Ebenezer Idowu Ajayi, Mr. Oluwaseyi Olaniyan, and the Nigerian Schools Foundation (UK) for this great partnership and support.

ChiYoWo is in solidarity with UN Secretary-General António Guterres and recognises International Education Day 2021

Sunday, 28 March 2021 by access_admin

ChiYoWo is excited! According to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, “we must do far more to advance Sustainable Development Goal 4, to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.”

Recover and revitalize education for the COVID-19 generation

The International Education Day occurs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic that led to a global learning disruption of unprecedented scale and severity. The closure of schools, universities, and other learning institutions, as well as the interruption of many literacy and lifelong learning programmes, has affected the lives of 1.6 billion students in over 190 countries. As a new year begins, now is the time to step up collaboration and international solidarity to place education and lifelong learning at the center of the recovery and the transformation towards more inclusive, safe, and sustainable societies.

Handwashing Awareness to Prevent the Spread of COVID -19 in 2021

Sunday, 28 March 2021 by access_admin

ChiYoWo continues to advocate the need to prevent the spread of the COVID -19 virus.

According to Water Aid, frequent, thorough handwashing with soap and water is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and is the first line of defence against COVID-19. Like a cold, coronaviruses are spread through droplets from a person coughing or sneezing, and via contaminated surfaces. Good hygiene is key to avoiding spreading it – and catching it.

Let us continue to stay safe!

ChiYoWo Proudly Celebrates World NGO Day 2021

Sunday, 28 March 2021 by access_admin

ChiYoWo, is proud to have partnered with numerous NGOs and UN bodies over the years to ensure that it continues to remain a voice for the voiceless. To that, we remain entirely grateful.

History of the World NGO Day

According to Days of the Year, World NGO Day aims to inspire people to become more actively involved within NGOs (Charities, NPOs, CSOs) and encourage a greater symbiosis between NGOs and both the public and private sector. The universal concept of World NGO Day is to Celebrate, Commemorate and Collaborate with the various NGOs around the world, and the people behind them on 27th February every year.

World NGO Day is a day for NGOs around the globe to share knowledge and experiences with one another. It aims to educate individuals worldwide on NGOs and their impact. The World NGO Day provides an opportunity to honour and remember NGO founders, employees, volunteers, members, and supporters.

Let us keep working towards a common goal!

ChiYoWo goes to Makoko, donates books to CEE-HOPE and advocates to ‘End Violence’ in Lagos State, Nigeria

Sunday, 28 March 2021 by access_admin
ChiYoWo donated educational, reading, and storybooks to the Centre for Children’s Health Education, Orientation and Protection (CEE-HOPE).
 
ChiYoWo’s Initiative representatives, Onyeka Titigbe and Lameed Opeyemi, sensitized the children, both boys, and girls, on the need to adopt a good reading culture as it helps to widen their knowledge base and provides them with a heightened sense of self-awareness about their rights. This also includes the confidence to report and prevent potential child abuse at any given time.
 
Betty Abah, CEE-HOPE’s founder, expressed gratitude for enriching children’s and youths’ lives and described ChiYoWo’s gesture as life-enhancing.
 
The sensitization talks on sexual violence prevention to these teenagers were simply priceless considering the high incidences of sexual violence especially against young persons that we face in the course of the COVID -19 Pandemic.
 
Also, as part of activities marking the recent 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence, CEE-HOPE partnered with ChiYoWo and Jabez Place to sensitize children at Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria’s biggest slum settlement where over 60 children drawn from Makoko and other places across Lagos were actively engaged and empowered.
 
Jabez Place led by Adesola Alamutu, a gender rights activist and founder of Children and the Environment (CATE), and Iquo Diana-Abasi, a poet and writer, enlightened the children on how to stay safe and avoid being sexually violated, stressing that the COVID-19 period had led to increased rates of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Also in attendance and giving similar advice was Yemi Oni, Head, Legal Services, Lagos State Ministry of Justice.
 
They encouraged the children to be alert, self-aware, and confident and to report attempted violations to their teachers and other authority figures around them.
 
Special thanks go out to the Nigerian Schools Foundation (UK) for their continued support to ChiYoWo.
