While they placed their hands over each others' ears the familiar voice said: "Sing your song and smile!".
While they sang, a loud bang made them shut their eyes because they had come to collect their father.

He stared hard at the blank piece of paper in front of him with a big circle in red oblivious of the penetrating stares. Identified and exempted he joins a class of lesser number who were taken on a thorough journey of their weakness. Until the red ink turned to another colour taking shape of the figures scribbled on it. Eventually there was no red circle and only double whole numbers.

good story, gets message across

Aisha eyes beamed with joy as she stepped out to the stage to receive her award. Her principal proudly put her hands over her shoulder. She was the best graduating student in her class. She wished her parents were here to see this. She couldn’t wait to get into Junior Secondary School.

“Here she is,” Aisha’s father declared excitedly as she steps into the compound. “She will make you a good wife.” Aisha hands trembled as she managed to hold on to her award. Tears welled up in her eyes as she beheld the aged man of about 60 years who would soon be her husband. “So, how much are you going to pay for her?” Her father asked greedily.
Aisha sits outside in the cold, with her protruded tommy, locked out of her husband’s house. Fresh wounds and marks of beatings showing all over her body. This was not the life she dreamt of at 14 years of age. Worse, she feared for her baby.

Ade was found by our organization on a street in Lagos Nigeria. She ran out of the house because she was accused of stealing and she actually stole because her parents could not afford to feed her well and also send her to a good school.
With all that happened we decided to enroll Ade in school, more children like Ade are not in school. We've decided that we will go on the street check for more children who might have the same story as Ade and enroll them in school, so they can be productive for themselves and the nation at large.
After we engage on the street search to look for more children on the street we discovered that there are more children like Ade who are not in school, some are even sent out of the house by their parents/guardian, while some ran away from home because of maltreatment and some dreadful accusations.
A child who is not in school can't be productive for his/herself and the country at large. The children being on the street they are prone to attacks from robbers, kidnappers and a female child being on the street has the risk of being raped or molested.
We the way we've sourced for donor and we've gotten responses and donations from them, we've been able to send some of the children back to school, including Ade. They are all happy now, and they hyave a hope for their future.

[voice over while showing farmlands and farmers working]

In Ghana, Abigail Kyiriw is one of the 2,000 organic farmers who need to be served with information and resources. This means that many organic farmers go about their farming activities with little guidance, support and insight into best practices that will increase their productivity and efficiency.

[voice over and focus on Abigail while talking]

Despite her industry, Abigail says, "Farming is a very demanding trade and farmers need all the support we can get to be successful in this space. Markets change, practices get advanced and now the weather patterns are also changing. It’s October and rains are as heavy as they were in June."

[voice over while showing illegal farm inputs and farmers]

Aside from the limited guidance that farmers receive, farmers have to deal with the risk of buying fake inputs I.e unapproved and smuggled fertilizers and insecticides. The seasonality of their crops also means farmers may not have enough money throughout the year to purchase quality inputs.

[voice over while showing field officers training in different training sessions]

Our field officers conduct weekly community-based workshops to train farmers on improved farming practices and better business practices. All direct farmer training sessions are reinforced with agronomic and business tips through digital mediums such as voice calls and talking books. All lessons and contents are delivered in farmers’ local language in order to bridge the illiteracy gap.

This is my story as written by me.

This struck me as very meaningful- the child is proud that they can help their family.

Imagine you wake up each morning and don't have what to eat as a pregnant woman? This is the case of Binta who stays in a rural community where she lost her husband when she was a month pregnant, and will have to look for menial Job to do each day to feed herself and her 2 children.
As an organization we assisted in teaching her and other women how to make liquid soap and other hand work that will fetch them income in the community they live. We realized there are many Binta's in the community! The women developed and helped other to high level of sustainability both financially and Healthy living.

Hey, Come on Out!” by Shinichi Hoshi
The typhoon had passed and the sky was a gorgeous blue. Even a certain village not far from the city had
suffered damage. A little distance from the village and near the mountains, a small shrine had been swept away
by a landslide.
"I wonder how long that shrine’s been here."
"Well, in any case, it must have been here since an awfully long time ago."
"We’ve got to rebuild it right away."
While the villagers exchanged views, several more of their number came over.
"It sure was wrecked."
"I think it used to be right here."
"No, looks like it was a little more over there."
Just then, one of them raised his voice. "Hey what in the world is this hole?" Where they had all gathered there
was a hole about a meter in diameter. They peered in, but it was so dark nothing could be seen. However, it
gave one the feeling that it was so deep it went clear through to the center of the earth.
There was even one person who said, "I wonder if it’s a fox’s hole."
"HHey comes on outshouted a young man into the hole. There was no echo from the bottom. Next, he
picked up a pebble and was about to throw it in.
"You might bring down a curse on us. Lay off," warned an old man, but the younger one energetically threw the
pebble in. As before, however, there was no answering response from the bottom. The villagers cut down some
trees, tied them with rope, and made a fence which they put around the hole. Then they repaired to the village.
"What do you suppose we ought to do?"
"Shouldn’t we build the shrine up just as it was over the hole?"
A day passed with no agreement. The news traveled fast and a car from the newspaper company rushed over. In
no time a scientist came out and, with an all-knowing expression on his face, he went over to the hole. Next, a
bunch of gawking curiosity seekers showed up; one could also pick out here and their men of shifty glances
who appeared to be concessionaires. Concerned that someone might fall into the hole, a policeman from the
local substation kept careful watch.
One newspaper reporter tied a weight to the end of a long cord and lowered it into the hole. A long way down it
went. The cord ran out, however, and he tried to pull it out, but it would not come back up. Two or three people
helped out, but when they all pulled too hard the cord parted at the edge of the hole. Another reporter, a camera
in hand, who had been watching all of this, quietly untied a stout rope that had been wound around his waist.
The scientist contacted people at his laboratory and had them bring out a high-powered bullhorn, with which he
was going to check out the echo from the hole’s bottom. He tried switching through various sounds, but there
was no echo. The scientist was puzzled, but he could not very well give up with everyone watching him so �
intently. He put the bullhorn right up to the hole, turned it to its highest volume, and let it sound continuously
for a long time. It was a noise that would have carried several dozen kilometers above ground. But the hole just
calmly swallowed up the sound.
In his mind, the scientist was at a loss, but with a look of apparent composure he cut off the sound and, in a
manner suggesting that the whole thing had a perfectly plausible explanation, said simply, "Fill it in."
Safer to get rid of something one didn’t understand.
The onlookers, disappointed that this was all that was going to happen, prepared to disperse. Just then one of the
concessionaires, having broken through the throng and come forward, proposed.
"Let me have that hole. I’ll fill it in for you."
"We’d be grateful to you for filling it in," replied the mayor of the village, "but we can’t very well give you the
hole. We have to build a shrine there."
"If it’s a shrine you want, I’ll build you a fine one later. Shall I make it with an attached meeting hall?"
Before the mayor could answer, the people of the village all shouted out.
"Really? Well, in that case, we ought to have it closer to the village."
"It’s just an old hole. We’ll give it to you!"
So it was settled. And the mayor, of course, had no objection.
The concessionaire was true to his promise. It was small, but closer to the village he did build for them a shrine
with an attached meeting hall.
About the time the autumn festival was held at the new shrine, the hole-filling company established by the
concessionaire hung out its small shingle at a shack near the hole.
The concessionaire had his cohorts mount a loud campaign in the city. "We’ve got a fabulously deep hole!
Scientists say it’s at least five thousand meters deep! Perfect for the disposal of such things as waste from
nuclear reactors."
Government authorities granted permission. Nuclear power plants fought for contracts. The people of the
village were a bit worried about this, but they consented when it was explained that there would be absolutely
no above-ground contamination for several thousand years and that they would share in the profits. Into the
bargain, very shortly a magnificent road was built from the city to the village.
Trucks rolled in over the road, transporting lead boxes. Above the hole, the lids were opened and the wastes
from nuclear reactors tumbled away into the hole.
From the Foreign Ministry and the Defense Agency, boxes of unnecessary classified documents were brought
for disposal. Officials who came to supervise the disposal held discussions on golf. The lesser functionaries, as
they threw in the papers, chatted about pinball.
The hole showed no signs of filling up. It was awfully deep, thought some; or else it might be very spacious at
the bottom. Little by little, the hole-filling company expanded its business.�
Bodies of animals used in contagious disease experiments at the universities were brought out and to these were
added the unclaimed corpses of vagrants. Better than dumping all of its garbage in the ocean, went the thinking
in the city, and plans were made for a long pipe to carry it to the hole.
The hole gave peace of mind to the dwellers of the city. They concentrated solely on producing one thing after
another. Everyone disliked thinking about the eventual consequences. People wanted only to work for
production companies and sales corporations; they had no interest in becoming junk dealers. But, it was
thought, these problems too would gradually be resolved by the hole.
Young girls whose betrothals had been arranged discarded old diaries in the hole. Some were inaugurating new love affairs and threw into the hole old photographs of themselves taken with former
sweethearts. The police felt comforted as they used the hole to get rid of accumulations of expertly done
counterfeit bills. Criminals breathed easier after throwing material evidence into the hole.
Whatever one wished to discard, the hole accepted it all. The hole cleansed the city of its filth; the sea and sky
seemed to have become a bit clearer than before.
Aiming at the heavens, new buildings went on being constructed one after the other.
One day, atop the high steel frame of a new building under construction, a workman was taking a break. Above
his head he heard a voice shout:
"Hey, come on out!"
But, in the sky to which he lifted his gaze there was nothing at all. A clear blue sky merely spread overall. He
thought it must be his imagination. Then, as he resumed his former position, from the direction where the voice
had come, a small pebble skimmed by him and fell on past.
The man, however, was gazing in idle reverie at the city’s skyline growing ever more beautiful, and he failed to
notice.

This is what she said: "I'm astounded by your talent; there aren't many people like you in our country. The way you present it adds more beauty and authenticity. More of you are needed."

Their performance at times made me feel like my efforts are going in vain.

"Our future is so bright with you," they always told me.

Little did I know that they would establish a viable apiculture enterprise which has created employment for more than 20 youths in their village.

The gender gap in the digital space has increased by more than 90% globally between the male and female genders. This resulted in a significant digital skills gap in schools throughout Nigeria, Rwanda, Asia, South Africa, Cameroon, and other countries.

Hope is a young girl from the African continent who aspires to be a computer technician and to train young girls like herself in digital skills.

The advocacy for breaking down barriers to digital skills went viral, and as a result, the digital hub foundation received a grant to provide digital skills to 50 females, including both basic digital skills for secondary school girls and advanced skills for women and girls for employability.

Hope was able to participate in these training programs and had access to the tools she needed to learn and develop herself in the field of technology, gaining mentorship from the program's various coaches and learning how to develop a website as a result. She was later assigned to two students to teach in the program after excelling in her classes.

Hope began her own training program with five students and grew it to eight with the assistance of mentors.

He was sitting on the roadside and waiting for the customer to come so that he polishes his shoes and earn money. His stomach is growling because he hasn't eaten since last night. When he was waiting for the customer a man come and asked the boy, "Hey little boy, how are you?" The boy smiled because it was the first time that someone came and asked him how he is doing. The boy replied, "I am good Sir, Thanks and how are you doing?" The man replied, "I am good my dear." And why are polishing the shoes at the age when you need to go to school?
