DEC Conducts Health Intervention Program in Ofolijinwa Community, Ofu LGA

Residents of Ofolijinwa community in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State recently benefited from a health intervention program organized by DEC, aimed at improving access to basic healthcare services and strengthening community health support.

The outreach program brought together healthcare workers, community leaders, and residents for a medical intervention focused on providing essential healthcare assistance to people within the community. During the exercise, members of the community received medical attention, health consultations, and basic treatment services.

As part of the intervention, DEC also donated seed drugs and medical supplies to the community health centre to support continuous healthcare delivery after the outreach program. The donation is expected to help improve the availability of essential medicines for residents, especially vulnerable groups who rely on the local health facility for treatment.

Community members expressed appreciation for the initiative, describing it as timely and impactful, particularly in addressing some of the healthcare challenges faced in rural communities. Local leaders commended DEC for its commitment to community development and public health support.

The outreach reflects DEC’s dedication to promoting healthier communities through medical support programs, preventive healthcare awareness, and partnerships that improve grassroots healthcare services.

The intervention is expected to contribute positively to the wellbeing of residents in Ofolijinwa and surrounding communities within Ofu LGA.

Community-Based Sensitization of Women on Their Rights and Prevention of Gender-Based Violence in South East Nigeria

The Development Education Center (DEC), Enugu, continues to empower women through impactful community-based sensitization across South East Nigeria. In a recent outreach, DEC convened a vibrant gathering of women in a welcoming community pavilion, creating a safe and inclusive space for dialogue, learning, and collective action.

The interactive session brought together respected women leaders and community members who actively engaged in discussions on their rights and their role in preventing gender-based violence. Guided by experienced facilitators, participants shared experiences, asked questions, and explored practical ways to strengthen support systems within their communities.

Through its “100 Women” mobilization model, DEC equips women to become advocates and change agents. These women serve as trusted voices, promoting awareness, supporting survivors, and fostering inclusive participation in community decision-making. The session also strengthened solidarity among participants, encouraging collective action and sustained community engagement.

DEC’s grassroots approach ensures that interventions are culturally relevant and community-owned. By meeting women in familiar and accessible spaces, the organization fosters trust and empowers participants to carry forward the knowledge gained, extending the impact to families and the wider community.

Together, we are building safer, more inclusive communities where women can live with dignity, equality, and freedom from violence.

International Women’s Day 2026: Empowering Women to Speak, Act, and Lead

During this year’s International Women’s Day celebration, Development Education Centre (DEC) Enugu took bold steps to promote and protect the rights of women across communities in South East and North Central Nigeria.

With the theme “Give and Gain,” the initiative focused on advocacy, education, and direct engagement with community leaders, religious institutions, and government stakeholders. Women were empowered to speak out, understand their rights, and actively participate in shaping decisions that affect their lives.

From Edemani Ogwugwu Eze Ancient Kingdom to communities across Enugu and Kogi States, the event brought together leaders and change-makers committed to ending harmful cultural practices such as denial of inheritance, exclusion from governance, and limited access to opportunities.

A major highlight was the sensitization of women on:

Their legal rights

The importance of inheritance rights

The role of wills in preventing disputes

How to challenge unjust community policies

DEC Enugu continues to drive change by ensuring that women—especially the vulnerable and widows—are not only heard but protected.

Together, we can build communities where women thrive.

Happy International Women’s Day 2026
At DEC Enugu, we know that when women are empowered, communities grow stronger.
Together, let us give support, create opportunities, and gain a brighter future for all.
