On the 22nd of March every year, the United Nations (UN) celebrates World Water Day. This year, 2019, the theme is: "Leaving No One Behind". This is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) goal 6: "Water For All by 2030". Water is a necessity of life, so much so that the body contains two-thirds water in various forms. Water is a major constituent of cells, tissues, organs and other body parts. Most of the food we eat is composed of water in varying degree, even the air we breath has some amount of moisture (water) in it. It is therefore safe to say that water is as essential as air, because water is life. Water is needed in our day to day activities, from drinking to cooking, washing, cleaning, bathing, etc. It is a stated fact that humans can survive up to seven days without food, but they cannot survive seven days without water. This article focuses on water, sanitation and hygiene as it relates to public schools. Saving Hand Development I...

Changed Teachers Conference (CTC) is a Conference of teachers geared towards raising Role Models, Mentors and Change Drivers among Teachers who will in turn effect change in their schools, community, and the education system as a whole beginning from themselves. It is a one of SHADE-IN's programmes aimed at effecting lasting transformation in schools especially Public schools in Nigeria.  It is born out of the need to implement change in the school system using the Community Health Evangelism (CHE) model, which involves the community (in this case, the school), driving her own change. The maiden edition of the Conference seeks to validate the school's result of the survey conducted by SHADE-IN in some public secondary schools in Benin City. A visit to many public secondary schools in this city will reveal the need for this programme.  The details of the programme are as follows: Theme: Change Drivers for Education Transformation Date:  29th Marc...

The story of 7 year old Success Adegor, which came to light recently, might likely over turn the rot in our public primary and secondary school education systems if properly handled by the public. Not much has been done by the various state governments in addressing the concerns in this sector. It is unacceptable for the government to wait for the deplorable situations in schools to come to the public domain before taking action. This is the result of poor leadership in our nation, evidenced by the fact that many government officials would rather devour the nation's treasury than act as good leaders. These leaders acquire public wealth to enrich themselves, their friends and build edifices for themselves and their unborn children. We must confront this issue from the right perspective and provide the necessary solution that will prevent any future occurrence. We must commend our teachers who are still making efforts to effect their little impact to reach a few with the litt...

  So, SHADE-IN joined Lift Above Poverty Organization (LAPO) on 8th March, 2019 with the rest of the world to celebrate International Women's Day at the 7th LAPO Outstanding Women Leadership Award 2019 at Edo Heritage Hotel, Benin City. With the recognition of three women in the Professional, Public Life and Business categories respectively, who stood out against all odds with over 10 years of consistency, it was a worthwhile event. There are many other likes of the awardees: Dame Professor Christiana Okojie, Mrs. Eucharia Asikaralu Okafor and Mrs. Oserhebhen Ehehiremen Sarah, who have greater potentials to be outstanding not for bad but for good. Yes, that woman may just be in that little girl or baby girl. Let's invest in the child and strike a balance on both gender - male or female. The girl child should be given care according to her uniqueness. For instance, decent toilets with running water should be provided in public places for girls. In SHADE-I...

Let us celebrate one of the fruits of our ministry in SHADE-IN, Rasheed Obaro Sanni. February 5, 2019 was his birthday. Rasheed (Right) being taught by one of our volunteers, Gloria Iboroama (L), 2010 He was in JSS 2 when we started work in Aba-Ebira, Ekiti State, being one of the pioneer beneficiaries of our extra mural classes. Today, he is a Civil Engineering 200 level student of University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo State. Rasheed in school (UNIBEN) I enjoin all of us to pray specially for him on this his birthday, as well as reach out to him. Our most sincere prayer for him is that Christ be formed in him. This is the secret of greatness in life, because Christ in us is the hope of glory. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, Galatians 4:19 KJV To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:27 KJV Kee...
