Benin welcomes ChiYoWo #BookDriveNigeria2019!
Benin welcomes us #BookDriveNigeria2019! We are super proud of the impact Children Youth and Women Empowerment Initiative (ChiYoWo) continues to travel to hard to reach communities in Nigeria. Our team recently visited 2 schools in Benin – Guidance Academy and May & Steve Nursery and Primary School to donate educational and reading books. Certificates were given to the schools and outstanding students who excelled in educational competitions. Literacy and empowerment continue to inform our work.
Thank you for the continued support of our donors and partners. A shout out to NSFUK for being our key partner in the United Kingdom.
Well done Team ChiYoWo!!!
Much appreciated as always.

ChiYoWo celebrates Children’s Day at Khan Foundation
The Children, Youth and Women Empowerment Initiative (ChiYoWo) celebrated Children’s Day at Khan Foundation and had a wonderful time setting up a library and reading club.
As part of our #BookDriveNigeria2019 Programme, our ‘Read, Learn and Shape your World Project’ sought to encourage engaging reading culture habits in schools and amongst young children. The children took part in different activities including our Spelling Bee Competition and singing classes. They had so much fun!!! Winners got certificates as well. Congratulations to our first Library Prefect and Assistant who will be in charge of our ChiYoWo Reading Club.
Thanks to NSFUK for donating all the books to ChiYoWo in Nigeria. We are proud to be a catalyst for change in the literacy and education space in Nigeria. We will keep on striving to attain SDG4 – Quality Education in a country where over 15million children are still out of school and lack basic reading and writing materials that should at least start shaping their lives.
Thank you, Khan Foundation, for hosting us. Thank you to our donors, partners and our anonymous shipping company.
To our ChiYoWo volunteers Yetunde and Ibukun (and her Baby 😊) who delivered the activities we say well done👍🤗🙏🙏 and thank you.
Much appreciated,
The ChiYoWo Family

Off to Ogun State!!!
ChiYoWo goes to Ogun State!!!
The pupils of Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Bode Ijaye, Abeokuta and their teachers were happy to receive our team from the ‘Read, Learn and Shape your World Project #BookDriveNigeria2019‘. It’s amazing how children respond to ‘hope, innovation and development’. They took part in a spelling bee competition, an SDG awareness programme and discussed current issues they contend within their communities on a daily basis. Winners got certificates and will manage the ChiYoWo Reading Club we set up. Thanks to Adedayo Adenrele our host teacher, and all the other teachers. We truly appreciate your effort. Enjoy reading and encourage the pupils to read the books we donated to your school library.
Again, thanks to NSFUK, our partner in the United Kingdom. Literacy is key for development and you keep on providing us with many keys!
Our volunteers, Titigbe Onyekachi Venath, Okeleye Olanike and Marvellous, thanks for travelling out and making a difference in the lives of many. Good memories – Great thinkers!
