Weekend is approaching and we’re here to help yo Weekend is approaching and we’re here to help you manage your money. We know how hard it can be to keep track of your spending especially because of inflation. Sometimes, it makes sense to treat yourself — to splurge on an awesome new pair of shoes or try a fancy new restaurant. But then again, we all know that we should spend less than we earn... if you didn’t know that then that’s something you should learn. How do you manage your personal finances? Do you spend spend spend until you realise that you have not saved and then tell yourself “next month” will be different? Or are you the type that indulges in impulsive buying? At our meeting this week, our amiable accounts officer gave us tips on how to achieve financial independence regardless of what we earn. Here are some tips we learnt — 🤑 Maintain a planned budget 🤑 Pay your bills on time 🤑 Be disciplined 🤑 Define your luxury and spend less on them. Share with us in the comment section how you manage your personal finances #FinancialGoals #EmployeeDevelopment #OnelifeInitiative
We’re proud to showcase some activities from the We’re proud to showcase some activities from the You Matter in this Matter project being implemented with our partners. We’ve seen some amazing things happen through support from Voice to embark on this project. The project is a response to the #EndSARS events of several months back. Our major focus was to help youths and women understand how to engage properly with government security agencies, particularly the Police. It was intentional that we support young people we engaged with, to better understand how best to handle issues of police brutality and other related security challenges in their communities. While we wait for a change, we hope to see a future where no one has to protest on the streets before they are treated with the dignity every human deserves. #YouMatterinthisMatter #YouMatter #GoodGovernance #Partnership #Collaboration #Youths #Nigeria
We're still trying to figure out how to pronounce We're still trying to figure out how to pronounce Enyeneokpon's name, but we know you won't be able to either. From our Uyo office, She came in on zoom and gave us a great presentation on the advantages of volunteering and interning. She explained that it's not about doing something altruistic or donating time—it's about helping others while developing your skills and improving yourself. We also learned how not to assemble a power point presentation. Here's what we learned: if you think it looks like your presentation isn't going well, it probably isn't—and that means you need to take the time to improve things. If there are too many slides and they're too long or complex-looking, try breaking them up into smaller sections and putting them on cards instead of on slides. And if you have a lot of text in your slides, put it in bullet points—it'll make it easier for your audience to understand what you're saying. the more you do it the better you get at it. #Employeedevelopment #MondayMeeting #MondayMotivation
We had a photography consultant from @malalafund c We had a photography consultant from @malalafund come to document the work we do with the girl child in their schools in #Oyo State. We understand the importance of storytelling. We are also learning how to tell our own stories better especially those around behaviour changes. We are eager to see how our story of change will be interpreted. You get to hear it directly from those who experienced it first-hand. The photographs captured the joy and beauty that comes with helping girls realise their full potential and fulfil their dreams. #GirlsEducation #Storytelling #OnelifeInitiative #Policies
We are learning to tell our stories better. What We are learning to tell our stories better. What is the nature of our work at Onelife Initiative? What are the various ways we support young people? Since our team members are a major part of our work, who are they and what do they do? We are trying to answer these questions through support from our media team. Everyone at this end is longing to see the end product. Are you? #OnelifeInitiative #Team #VideoSession #OurStory
We’re not sure if we should be excited or super We’re not sure if we should be excited or super excited: 😻...but the question is are we too young to own houses? The answer is NO! We have a vision of the future that includes every staff at Onelife Initiative owning their own homes. But how do we get there? The @federalmortgagebank honoured our invitation to walk us through the process of accessing mortgage as an organisation for staff to purchase their own homes. We think this is a great idea, as it will help us create an environment where everyone feels like they are part of something bigger than themselves. In addition to the pensions and health insurance that we provide for staff, we hope that in the near future we will be able to support everyone in our organisation to own their own homes through the National Housing Fund of the Federal Government. Mixed feelings as we commence the 2.5% monthly deductions…. In any case, it’s exciting stuff! 🤭 #Oleyo has become a buzzword at the office after the session. Ask any of our staff or volunteer. #Mortgage #Mortgageloans #StaffBenefits
Today at our Monday meeting/employee training was Today at our Monday meeting/employee training was all about funding and funding opportunities for non-profit organizations, and how we can explore fundraising through other means rather than depend solely on international and national fundings. We explored the different types of funding that are available, and what the process is like to apply for them, the process is frustrating but its worth it because you learn from every step and with each mistake as you go. It was also a time to look at last week's activities and explore better ways of achieving them! #MondayMeetings #Employeetraining #fundraising

Do you ever get the feeling that your social skill Do you ever get the feeling that your social skills are a bit rusty? Networking is an important part of the job market, and you may even have a few tricks of your own up your sleeve. But what do you do when at a meeting or conference and you have to network? Precious took us through a list of things we can do to help us network better especially when we meet people for the first time. Employee trainings during our Mondays meetings are now a regular part of our learnings so apart from project overviews, we are learning new skills every week and improving ourselves in terms of work ethics and skills. Here are some tips for starting conversations with difficult people: 🤓 Be prepared: Read up on them beforehand if possible! 🥳 Be friendly: Smile, use body language to show interest, etc. 😊 Be approachable: Try to be in a good mood and be open-minded about their ideas/opinions.

Happy World Youth Skills Day! Transforming Youth S Happy World Youth Skills Day! Transforming Youth Skills for the Future We’re celebrating Nigerian youths who have had to go out of their way to get skills. Especially those soft skills that you do not find in the classroom. Those skills around public speaking. Those tech skills that are now required in the work place today and yet are not taught in schools. Skills that help you manage people. Skills around social interaction. Skills around organising events and activities. If you are a young person, you will need a lot of skills. And getting those skills will have to be deliberate. You will need to volunteer anywhere you find yourself. Put yourself out there. It will make you vulnerable but you will learn. Offer to do things for free. It’s actually not free at the end of the day. You will be learning at their expense. Always ask questions about the skills for the future you desire. Then start skilling up towards it. When next you see that job advert. Take a look at the skills they are requiring. Then set a goal for yourself. When that future comes, you will be ready. What special skills do you currently have? Share with us in the comment section. #WYSD #WYSD2022 #WorldYouthSkillsDay
𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮? 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 Once upon a time, these guys went to a barber’s shop. A phone got stolen. The owner went and got a police officer and arrested 9 young people in the shop. While at the police station, the phone was found. BUT! the police refused to release the young men rather demanded for monies to be paid for their bail. Money exchanged hands yet they were beaten and not released. One of the young men got frustrated and decided to seek help. He called our toll free line and we came to the station to ask what happened. Plenty English was spoken and Money was returned. Boys were released. Apologies were exchanged. That is the end of our story! That is the end of their story. They were happy to share this with us and others. Know your Right! #ThrowBackThursday #Thursday #YouMatter #YouMatterInthisMatter #KnowYourRights
Sometimes, it's hard to think about how many human Sometimes, it's hard to think about how many humans there are on this planet. It's easy to get caught up in what's going on in your own life, or in the lives of people you know—but it's important to remember that we're all in this together. As a species, we face food shortages and global warming, as well as state insecurity and pandemics. And while having a large number of children may have been fashionable once upon a time, nowadays it's not considered something most people would want to do. That's why it's so important that we work together to curb the population growth by equipping ourselves with information that helps us make better choices about how many children we have and how well we can care for them. #worldpopulationday #worldpopulationday2022
