It is our responsibility to protect children and if we don't then we have failed as a country.

We ask that our government be responsible to protect lives of its citizens especially the most vulnerable.

We have been asking for safe schools from governme

We have been asking for safe schools from government since the Chibok Girls incidence. The promises have been made on paper yet many of our public schools remain without fences. It has been 13 days since our children were abducted. Schools are no longer safe. We are asking and pleading that our government do what they have promised on the international stage. If we want children educated, then we must protect them while they learn.

This is not a Happy Children's Day for all.

We want our children back safe.
We want their teachers back.
Our Government must do better.
It can't be business as usual.

Onelife Initiative is looking for an Islamic Studi

Onelife Initiative is looking for an Islamic Studies expert or scholar 📿 who can work individually or in a team to develop sermon notes that provide Quranic and theological support for the education of married and pregnant girls in northern Nigeria.

The consultant will produce a series of Khutbah guides 📖grounded in Islamic theology, designed for use by Imams to affirm from a Quranic and Hadith perspective that education is not suspended by marriage or pregnancy. That knowledge remains an obligation. That a girl who is a wife or a mother still has a right to learn.

Most importantly, is that we need someone who has a strong understanding of Islamic religion and the northern context. If you are a fit for this please head to - www.bit.ly/onelifesermonnotes and apply before the end date of 30th May 2026.

Today is for the boy child. If we want stronger

Today is for the boy child.

If we want stronger families and stronger communities, we can’t keep leaving the boys behind. Too often they’re expected to “figure it out” on their own, while the support, mentorship, and encouragement goes everywhere else.

But boys become the men who protect, provide, lead, and love in their homes. When we invest in them early with time, guidance, and real presence we’re not just raising kids, we’re building the backbone of future families and neighborhoods.

So today, check on the boys around you. Mentor one. Listen to one. Show up for one. A boy who feels seen today becomes a man who shows up for everyone tomorrow...❤

Not everything you see online about sex and reprod

Not everything you see online about sex and reproductive health is true, complete or accurate… and honestly, that is a BIG problem especially for our young people.

We just wrapped up a 2-day training with social media influencers and content creators, we had the bestest 😊and most brilliant of them in the room. Most importantly, they were open minded and as passionate about the issues as we were.

From conversations about abstinence to understanding how unsafe abortion plays a big role in increasing maternal mortality and morbidity in Nigeria and how contraceptives are also a game changer, Dr Adewole, Mrs Alu and our Executive Director didn’t shy away from the real topics. Because the truth is, these conversations are directly linked to life long decisions for women and girls.

Our partners RAES on the Lets talk project will be excited to hear that our social media influencers are armed with accurate information that will reach thousands of young people. More importantly, the audience these influencers will be reaching are certainly getting a better deal.

As we commemorate World Health Day today, we are g

As we commemorate World Health Day today, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue providing last-mile adolescent-friendly health services in our rural, sub urban and peri urban communities. Few weeks back, with support from Ipas Nigeria, we Clocked it with 20 Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs). These are the ones we locally call Chemists!

We recognise their role in supplementing healthcare provision on our communities. We see them for the gaps that they help to close in various local governments, towns and villages. Residents acknowledge them as the first go-to point when they have health challenges. What was missing however was them being open to provide services in non-judgmental manner to adolescent girls and young people.

See the comment section for some feedback after the training.

Together with our Consultant Obstetrician Gynecologist from the Obafemi Awolowo Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, we queried their practices, methods and bias. We asked of their disposition to when a 17-year old undergraduate girl comes to them for contraceptive or when that Part 1 student comes to them to buy a condom. The Ministry of Health and Human Services in Ekiti State was also there to give a nod to this approach to ensuring no one is left behind.

Later today, as part of our efforts to Clock It in Iworoko, Oye and Ikere all in Ekiti, our Community Champions will be having community outreaches at LT1 Faculty of Arts Federal University Oye by 3pm, Achievers Villa Oye by 4pm, Idowu Taiwo and COE Business Administration Lecturer Room BOUESTI by 3pm.

Happy International Women's Day

Every year, we commemorate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This year's was at Onireke High School, Ibadan and People's Girls Grammar School, Ibadan.

We were honored to be joined by a tech guru from Interconnect Partner Limited, who shared her inspiring story from a curious young girl to becoming a thriving woman in tech. Her story encouraged the students and reminds them that their dreams are valid most importantly they are and achievable. She awarded scholarships to two outstanding girls to attend the highly anticipated Tech Exhibition... an event every young scientist in Ibadan looks forward to.

Our other facilitator, Adeola Adeagbo a Data Analyst and a lecturer told the story of how she - a student with poor math grade to a first Class graduate of Agricultural Economics by just doing a mind shift. She provided mentorship opportunities to 4 students interested in Data analysis... amazing right?

The students were excited to answer questions as they applauded and cheered while other girls also received special gifts from our team. Moments like these remind us why representation matters.
