A heartwarming and joyful moment as one of the beneficiaries from our previous healing session, Mrs. Ngozi, a mother of three, facilitated the training on various snack production skills. It was a source of encouragement to other participants. We also appreciate thecoordinatorr of HELDi for the opportunity, mentorship, support, and encouragement provided to her. Through mentorship, coaching, skills development, and continuous support, individuals can build confidence, unlock opportunities, and achieve their goals. We sincerely appreciate our sponsor for making this initiative possible and for helping us put smiles on the faces of our target beneficiaries. It was truly a space of healing, hope, empowerment, dignity, resilience, and encouragement.

Our field survey in Etche LGA: The mapping exercise under the Rise Up Together (RUT) Project is being conducted through both online and physical questionnaire administration methods. The exercise involves HELDi team members, Community Response Team, and other community members. The physical data collection method was introduced to accommodate individuals who may not have access to online platforms, thereby ensuring inclusiveness and broader community participation. The survey is open to all community0900p7 members, including adolescents, to ensure diverse representation and comprehensive data collection. The survey was conducted across various clans and communities within Etche LGA, including health centres, the General Hospital, and markets, to capture a wide range of perspectives and experiences. Up Together, we sincerely appreciate your continued support and commitment to strengthening community led action. For HELDi, it was a full week of engagement

Must Read! Our BusinessDay Newspaper report Feature on Methane Emissions and SGBV!
Methane emissions can not be ignored due to their harmful effects on human health, the environment, and the climate. Communities in the Niger Delta continue to face the impacts of pollution from crude oil activities, which have worsened social and economic challenges, including factors associated with SGBV.
Nigeria must strengthen environmental law enforcement, improve monitoring systems, and ensure accountability for polluters. A healthy environment is a fundamental right for all.
