Good Friday & increase in COVID-19 Cases

Today is called ‘Good Friday’ because it is the day when Jesus was rejected so that mankind can be accepted before God. Jesus was killed so that mankind can be healed from sin. So we rejoice!

Thus, same way we should rejoice and continue to rejoice as the number of cases detected by the NCDC keep increasing because It is a sign that we are complying, awareness is increasing, people are coming out.

The increasing cases are cases that if not detected could contribute to a monstrous spread of Coronavirus and the damaging effect would lead to more deaths.

It took us so late to start enforcing basic precautionary measures like closing borders and closing down gathering points to effectively curtail COVID-19.

Every single case, if contact tracing is done, could infect a minimum of 15 persons a day. Joining a taxi puts other people at risk when an infected person sneezes and have contact with different groups of people, again the risks are enormous with family members and neighbours.

So we should read good meanings to daily data on NCDC dashboard because it gives one joy to know cases are being detected till Covid19 gets to a peak and drastically drops.

Till there is a cure, let’s keep keeping safe.

Empowering Young Minds: Breaking the Cycle of Child Labour

At Kidsnteensngo, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for children in Cocoa-growing communities to access quality education and break the cycle of child labour. Through our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees we are working to create a sustainable impact that will benefit these communities for years to come. Our holistic remediation approach focuses on: 1. Education: Providing essential school kits to children, enabling them to attend school regularly and pursue their passions because we believe that children should work on dreams and not in farms. 2. Economic Empowerment: Establishing Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to empower local economies and improve the livelihoods of farmers and parents. This will ensure that parents are able to sustain the education of their children thus allowing the children to learn instead of working to earn to support their parents. 3. Community Development: Engaging local businesses to provide school uniforms, injecting more resources into the community and promoting economic growth. 4. Livelihood support for Farmers: Provision of farm tools and Income Generating Activities (IGA) to boost income and ensure improvements in the standard of living Our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees is making a tangible difference in the lives of
