From Lagos, Abia, Edo, Osun, Ogun, FCT, Adamawa and Rivers State to Port Harcourt and Cotonou, Benin Republic, and through virtual learning sessions connecting communities across borders, our message travelled far.

We educated. We sensitised. We distributed essential hygiene supplies. We supported access to clean drinking water. Most importantly, we reminded communities that health, hygiene and dignity matter.

YOU MADE HOPE HAPPEN.

To our directors and team leaders who coordinated activities, our volunteers who gave their time and energy, our donors who provided resources, and our partners and communities who opened their doors: this achievement belongs to all of us.

Rivers State, we see you! Welcome to the LDFCARES family. 💙💛

NOVEMBER, WE ARE READY!

October was about HOPE. November is about WASH: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.

Our next mission takes us to Benin Republic, with a target to make 3,000 children smile through 3,000 hygiene kits.

We need sanitary pads, hygiene essentials, partners, sponsors, volunteers and supporters to help make this possible.

Let's take the smiles further. Let's protect dignity. Let's create healthier communities.

Thank you for October. Now, let's make November count!

Every evening after a long day of work, you sit in your living room and look at your child. You notice they have been unusually quiet lately. Their grades are slipping a bit, they snap at their siblings over nothing, and they spend hours staring at the wall or hiding away in their room. As a parent, your first instinct is often frustration. You wonder why they are acting so stubborn, why they are being difficult, or if it is just typical childhood bad behavior.
