ChiYoWo Celebrates Children on World Children’s Day
We joined the world in celebrating the beauty, brilliance, and boundless potential of every child. Children represent the promise of tomorrow, and it is our collective duty to nurture them with love, protection, and opportunity.
We call on parents, schools, communities, and government at all levels to continue building safe, inclusive, and conducive environments where children can learn, explore, and thrive. Every child deserves quality education, proper healthcare, emotional support, and a secure space to grow into confident, and responsible leaders.
As we mark this year’s World Children’s Day, ChiYoWo reaffirms its commitment to empowering young minds and advocating for their rights. Let us continue to work together to ensure that every child’s voice is heard, and every dream is given a chance to flourish.

ChiYoWo Hosts Girl Child in a Programme in Commemoration of International Day of the Girl Child
Today, in commemoration of the International Day of the Girl Child, we hosted a programme for the girl child from Tulip Schools, Ikorodu. The programme, which held at our office complex in Etunrenren, provided the girls with inspiring moments through talks and movies.
The facilitator, Mrs. Rina Mary, speaking on the theme “The Girl I Am, the Change I Lead,” charged the girls to stand up and be great regardless of their background or any challenges they might be facing. She advised them to educate their minds by reading books and engaging in activities that promote growth, while shunning peer pressure and all forms of negative influence. She also encouraged them never to doubt themselves and to remain determined to succeed in all their endeavours.
The programme also featured a movie session. While munching on their popcorn, the girls watched Queen of Katwe, an inspiring film about a young Ugandan girl from the slums who rose to become a national champion through self-belief, education, and determination.
It was not just a talk show; the girls were also treated to delicious jollof rice garnished with fried plantains and beef. It was more than a programme, it was a true celebration of the girl child on her special day.
We appreciate our team of volunteers; Wura, Tamar, and Favour for helping out and making the programme memorable. We also appreciate Michael for his technical support.
At this juncture, we wish a Happy International Day of the Girl Child to all girls around the world, especially those in hard-to-reach communities and challenging backgrounds.
We love you all!
