Awareness means very little if the people we are reaching still don’t have the information they need.

Today, we asked the girls a simple question: is menstruation a sickness or a normal part of growing up? All the girls except one said it was a disease.

That response was a powerful reminder that there is still a lot of room for learning and that conversations like these remain important. It also reinforces why we at Elela-Care continue to do this work.

Girls need spaces where they can openly ask questions about their bodies, understand the changes they are experiencing, separate facts from misconceptions and learn that menstruation is a normal part of growing up, not something to fear or feel ashamed of.

These conversations may seem simple, but they can shape how a girl understands herself, cares for her health and navigates growing up.

At this time and age, every girl deserves more than awareness. She deserves the knowledge and confidence to understand her own body.

Peace is something we build, not something we simply hope for.

This International Day of Peace, themed “Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day,” we’re reflecting on what peacebuilding looks like in practice, from our work in Benue State through the Peacebuilding and Social Cohesion through WGSS and YFS in Collaboration with YLOs and WLOs Networks in Benue State project, to our wider community engagements.

For us, peacebuilding means creating spaces where women, young people and communities can speak, listen, build trust, address tensions and take part in shaping solutions that affect their lives.

Through safe spaces, youth engagement, community dialogue and platforms like radio conversations, we’re helping move peacebuilding from a concept to something communities can actively participate in. Investing in peace means investing in people, dialogue, inclusion and resilient communities.

Peace starts with all of us. Start the conversation, listen to a different perspective, build bridges and be part of the action!

Impact doesn’t happen by itself.

We’re getting into the week with our eyes on what matters: turning plans into action and making our work count where it matters most. Let’s get to it!

Today, we joined forces and took climate action to the streets of Maiduguri…

Elela-Care and FOR COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE (CAYEI) came together with Center For Advocacy,Transparency & Accountability Initiative - CATAI, ActionAid, the Borno State Agency for a Great Green World and other partners for the Global Climate Action Week 2026 Street Walk in Borno. Together, we raised our voices for climate justice and took action by planting trees as a simple but meaningful step towards a greener future.

Every tree planted today is a step towards cleaner, greener communities and a future we all have a part in shaping.

But climate action shouldn’t end with a street walk. Let’s take it back to our communities: plant a tree, protect our environment, encourage someone else to take action, and let’s build a greener future together.

Walk. Speak. Take Action.

Back to where the work started.

As part of our renewed engagement with schools under the RISE Initiative, we returned to Government Girls College, revived the existing GBV Club, and kicked off sensitization on School-Related Gender-Based Violence (SRGBV).

It was an engaging and insightful session, equipping the girls with the knowledge and confidence to understand, prevent, and speak up about issues related to gender-based violence.

Through safe spaces, open conversations, and peer support, we are empowering girls to recognize harmful behaviors, seek help, and contribute to a safer school environment for everyone.

Humanity, Our Religion. Leaving No One Behind.

Nutritious food is essential for children’s growth, but knowing what to eat is different from being able to provide it every day. For many families, limited access to diverse foods increases the risk of malnutrition.

In Beni-Sheikh, Kaga LGA, we supported malnourished children with supplementary feeding, including nutrient-rich Tom Brown, or therapeutic feeding with RUTF, based on their nutritional status. This was complemented by monitoring, counselling, follow-up, and OTP services for children with severe acute malnutrition.

As the project comes to an end, we are proud to have equipped caregivers with practical skills to prepare nutritious meals using locally available foods, knowledge they can continue to apply at home beyond the intervention.

Because sustainability means turning knowledge into lasting action: What foods are available, and how can we make the most of them?

Some engagements take a pause, but the work doesn’t have to stop.

Today, we returned to the State University in Borno to reconnect with the school management and share our plans to resume SRGBV activities with students.

The visit also came with a little throwback. While on campus, we spotted one of our SRGBV awareness flyers that had been placed there back in 2025. Seeing it still there was a reminder that the conversations we start can leave something behind.

As we strengthen our presence within the university, we’re looking forward to continuing the conversation around School-Related Gender-Based Violence (SRGBV) and supporting students with the knowledge and awareness they need to contribute to safer learning spaces.

After all, as our motto goes: Humanity, Our Religion. Leaving No One Behind. And yes, the campuses (tertiary institutions) aren’t left behind either.

The work continues.
