Empowering the Future: SHEAD Centre Champions NYSC Projects on Education in Commemoration of 50th Anniversary.

/

Shepherd for Health, Environment, Advocacy and Development (SHEAD) Centre, a non-governmental organization committed to creating and supporting interventions that improves health and well-being of our society, recently had the privilege of sponsoring an impactful National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) project focused on education. Education is the key to empowering individuals and transforming communities. Recognizing the importance of quality education, we sponsored an NYSC project aimed at revamping and stocking a local library at Oogi Community High School, Ayedaade area of Osun State. This initiative seeks to provide students, particularly those in under-served areas, with access to a diverse range of educational resources. By creating an inviting space filled with books and learning materials, we hope to foster a love for reading, ignite curiosity, and inspire a thirst for knowledge among pupils of the school which will also enhance their academic performance. The commissioning occasion of the project held on 17th of May as one of the activities to commemorate 50th anniversary of NYSC was graced by distinguished guests, including the NYSC officials led by the Osun State NYSC Coordinator, one of the High chief in the community and representatives from key government bodies such as the Osun State Ministry of Education, and media team. SHEAD CENTRE will not relent in her effort in making positive difference in society. #SHEADCentre #NYSC #Qualityeducationforall #CommunityImpact #Empoweringyouth Add Your Heading Text Here

Disability is not equivalent to inability if we all can reinforce the importance of securing the rights of people with disabilities and ensure that adequate policies and practices are in effect in a community or organization to enable them to exhibit their full potential to society through involvement in everyday activities like their peers. World Health Organization 2022 stated that about 1.3 billion people which is equivalent to 1 in 6 people worldwide experience significant disability, and some persons with disabilities die up to 20 years earlier than those without disabilities. International Day of Persons with a disability is annually celebrated on the 3rd of December to recognize visible and invisible disabilities thereby, promoting the importance of inclusion in life and the workplace. Shepherd for Health, Environment, Advocacy and Development, a non-profit organization (NGO) that cherishes sustainability, equity, and inclusion in their interventions that directly improve the society at large and more importantly the vulnerable, joins the tides to commemorate this year’s International Day of Persons with disability with the theme; “Transformative solutions for inclusive development”. The organization commemorates the day by making donations of items required for the development and growth of the student of Ijesa school for special needs children, Ilesha, Osun state, Nigeria. The commemoration was held by Shepherd for Health, Environment, Advocacy and Development (SHEAD) on the 6th of December instead of the 3rd of December so as to leverage the school program. To transform society, disability inclusion must be ensured by understanding the relationship between the way people function and how they can participate in society, and making sure everybody has the same opportunities to participate in every aspect of life to the best of their abilities and desires. How do we ensure disability inclusion? Access to free and quality healthcare services. Access to free and quality education. Provision of employment opportunities. Empowerment of persons with disability. Freedom of expression of their common human rights. Opportunity to hold civil and public positions. Provision of necessary aids to help them function well such as virtual ai etc. Engagement in physical activities and roles such as sports activities. Elimination of discrimination and stigmatization associated with disability. Conclusion Disability inclusion is a transformative solution to achieve Sustainable Development Goals of health for all. Hence, we will continue to promote the right and well-being of persons with disabilities through our humanitarian gestures.
