World’s largest clock on #ItsTimetoEndTB

The World’s largest clock on the 2019 World TB Day theme: “It’s time to END TB” was carved by Kids & Teens Resource Centre to educate and create awareness among people in Ondo State on tuberculosis.

K&TRC’s awareness train began with awareness creation and sensitization in Mary Queen of Angels Catholic Church with over 500 young people in attendance.

The young people were sensitized on the modes of transmission and how to prevent TB. They were all asked to stand as organs of enlightenment among their peers, families and communities. They were also implored to refer people who have been coughing for 3weeks or more to the nearest health facility. Questions were asked and scientifically correct answers given.

In the same vein the awareness creation train moved to the NASFAT centre also known as Nasrul-lahi-li Fathi Society of Nigeria, a Nigerian Muslim prayer group sometimes referred to as a Muslim Pentecostal group. The group has over one million members in Nigeria.

Over 200 Muslim faithfuls were equally sensitized on the basic facts of TB, how it is spread, prevented and cured. They were implored to also help in the identification of TB cases through referring of those who have been coughing for more than 2 weeks to the nearest DOTS facility.

The train passed through car and motorcycle parks creating awareness and finally stopped at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Eagles Wings Parish, Oke-Aro, where over 50 church members including elders of the church were educated on TB, prevention, risk factors and cure.

One major take home for all those educated was for them to realise that it’s time for everyone; religious leaders, market women, road transport workers, youths, teachers, traditional rulers, Policy makers, Government….EVERYONE to take action to EndTB in their lifetime!

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
