On Tuesday 14th June 2022, SDD volunteers in Ebonyi State Chapter visited Life Heritage School,Ikwo LGA,Ebonyi State.
The project was geared towards sensitizing the teens, about the ills in society, especially as it concerns them.

The students were enthusiastic about the cause, asked questions and made comments where necessary.

One of the reasons SOFADONDO exist is to educate and sensitize youngsters on the dangers and implications of exchanging sex for grades. In that vein, The Ebonyi Chapter of SDD didn't seize to use the chance it got on 8th May 2022 to inform adolescents about the work we do at SOFADONDO.

Cross River State held a school sensitization for the classes of SS2 and SS3 respectively. The speakers, Divine Ega, Delight Ebunta, and Daniel Enem introduced SOFADONDO and spoke to the students about the vision, objectives, and drive of the organization. Another topic that was discussed was: sexual harassment.

Just before the ASUU strike, we went on to, spread our message to young people on campus.

As an organisation with the primary goal of advocating against sexual harassment in schools, it became imperative that we take the all-important message of SDD to the Faculty of Humanities, Ignatius Ajuru University, Rivers State.

The university staff adviser Dr Edith and the management were very receptive.

On Tuesday 28th, December 2021, the Cross River State Government launched the first youth-focused Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights Policy in Nigeria and we are delighted to have had one of our Volunteers, Blessed Orji selected to be part of the process.

The essence of this policy is to ensure that adolescents and young people have access to friendly family planning services across the state.

What other best way is there to round off the year on a cheery note, if not to dine and merry together as a family? This was how the Cross River State chapter of SOFADONDO chose to celebrate theirs and was marked memorably.

The event was held on the 26th of December 2021, at the Millennium Park, Eleven-eleven, Calabar, It was packed full with lots of exciting bundles and activities which did not exclude board games, football games, stories of volunteering experiences, and of course, plenty to eat and drink.
