THE UNEXPECTED

Sometimes, one decision can change the direction of a life.

What begins as a moment of intimacy can lead to an outcome that neither person expected. This short film tells the story of a young woman who faces an unexpected pregnancy and the consequences of a choice made before she was ready.

Every choice has consequences. Think beyond the moment.

Watch *The Unexpected* and share it with someone who needs to see this.

World Breastfeeding Week 2026

On 3 August 2026, the Blue Gate Public Health Promotion Initiative, through the REACH Project (Recreation, Education and Community Health), joined nursing mothers at Idi-Ogungun Primary Health Centre, Gate, Ibadan, to commemorate World Breastfeeding Week 2026. The programme combined health education, competition, recreation and peer learning to promote exclusive breastfeeding and optimal infant feeding practices.

Breastfeeding Health Quiz
Mothers tested their knowledge of breastfeeding, infant feeding, immunisation and child health. Correct answers were rewarded with Viva detergent, making learning both engaging and rewarding.

Blindfold Water Pouring Challenge
Mothers attempted to pour water into a bottle while blindfolded. The activity demonstrated how difficult simple tasks can become without adequate information and guidance, reinforcing the importance of seeking professional support when facing breastfeeding challenges. Participants received detergent and soap as gifts.

Bucket Toss Relay
Using their non-dominant hands, mothers competed to throw balls into a bucket. The activity demonstrated that new skills can be challenging at first but become easier with practice, patience and support, just as mothers may need guidance and encouragement when learning breastfeeding techniques. Participants received detergent and soap as gifts.

Breastfeeding Ambassador Contest
Five nursing mothers demonstrated their knowledge, confidence and ability to educate and inspire others on breastfeeding. Contestants responded to practical breastfeeding questions before a panel of judges.
The top three contestants received:
1st Position: Baby Wipes
2nd Position: Cussons Baby Gift Pack
3rd Position: Baby Lotion/Moisturiser

The celebration was more than a competition. It was an opportunity to learn, share experiences, build confidence and empower mothers to make informed decisions for their babies. A special appreciation goes to the Oyo State Primary Health Care Board, management and healthcare workers of Idi-Ogungun Primary Health Centre, particularly the facility's health educator, Mrs Oyepeju, for their collaboration and support.

Learn. Play. Empower. Promote Healthy Beginnings.

CARE PROJECT 4.0

📍 Ifelodun Community, Koloko, Ibadan, Oyo State
📅 July 11, 2026

The Blue Gate Public Health Promotion Initiative successfully implemented the fourth edition of the Clothe and Replenish Everyone (CARE) Project, bringing healthcare, hope, and dignity to vulnerable members of the Ifelodun Community.

✨ More than 100 community members participated in the outreach.

🏥 96 individuals received free health screening and medical consultation, including blood pressure, blood sugar, malaria, BMI, cervical cancer screening, and other essential health checks.

💊 Essential medicines were provided free of charge, while participants requiring further care were referred to nearby government health facilities.

👕 Clothes, shoes, bags, traditional attire, teddy bears, and other essential items were sold at highly subsidized prices, generating ₦23,000 through our dignity-centred sales model.

🍚 Food packs were distributed through our interactive health quiz, while children participated in a fun-filled general knowledge competition and received biscuits as prizes.

🤝 The outreach was made possible through the dedication of our volunteers, the support of community leaders, and the active participation of residents, who worked alongside our team to ensure a successful event.

Together, we continue to restore health, dignity, and hope.

We sincerely appreciate our donors (Mr Oladipo Fakunle, Bodija Estate Baptist Church, Mr Elujulo Opeyemi, & Late Mama Akintola's children), volunteers, partners, and everyone who contributed to the success of CARE Project 4.0. Your generosity is transforming lives and strengthening communities.
