International Men's Day 2024

 In the heart of Makoko, a slum bustling with noise, Seun saw potential. Every corner was shadowed by graffiti-splashed walls, smoky food stalls, and the undeniable presence of young men who roamed in clusters. Their laughter, mingled with curses, was as sharp as the glint in their eyes—a glint hardened by a life that had offered them little. Seun had been warned about this place, told stories of gang rivalries and the chokehold that cultism held on the youth. But as he packed his bags that morning, ready to move to Makoko, Seun knew that this was where he wanted to be. He had come from a similar place, and had seen firsthand how life in such corners could devour dreams whole. So, although family and friends expressed concerns, he was so convinced that he moved with resolve.

With time, he settled nicely, got the hang of

Message to Girls to mark International Day of the Girl Child 2024

 Every year, to mark International Day of the Girl (IDG), we celebrate the bold aspirations, dreams, and potential of girls around the world. This year is no different. With the theme "Girls' Vision for the Future," the focus is on empowering young girls to imagine, articulate, and pursue the futures they envision—free from the limitations imposed by gender, culture, or society. Girls today are increasingly taking charge, raising their voices, and breaking barriers in areas like education, technology, health, and leadership. They are redefining what it means to be powerful by leading movements that challenge stereotypes and push for more equitable opportunities. IDG 2024 encourages all of us to listen to and support these visions. Whether through advocacy for equal education, access to digital tools, or the dismantling of harmful social norms, this day serves as a reminder that the future girls dream of will shape a better world for everyone. When we create an environment
