SON Celebrates Women's Day

                                        

Yesterday, March 8th marked another International Women's Day. Our message to women all over the world was: Women Support Each Other. Stop pulling each other down.

Irrespective of age, religion, social class or race, women the world over should always endeavour to support the other woman in thoughts, words and deeds. As the popular saying goes "United We Stand, Divided We Fall."

 Women need each other to survive and thrive in this world known as a "man's world."

We celebrate all women today. Happy Women's Day!!!

Celebrating the International Day of The Girl-Child

Yesterday, October 11, was the International Day of the Girl-Child.

We celebrate all girls around the globe. We seize this opportunity to congratulate 17 year old Malala Yousafzai on her recent Nobel Peace prize win, thus making her the youngest person ever to be bestowed with such honor.

We salute the courage of Pakistani --born Malala, who  against all odds is pursuing her dream of becoming educated. She is not only pursuing her dreams, she has now become an activist for other girls who are not as fortunate as herself to achieve their own dreams. Thank you Malala!


 


We urge everyone to spare a thought and prayer for the more than 200 Nigerian girls abducted from their school by the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram, since the month of April. We pray for their safety and return to their families. These innocent girls were kidnapped just because Boko Haram is averse to education particularly female education.






Let us all join hands to protect young girls around the world particularly in Africa.

Please support our girl-child initiatives. Every girl deserves to be educated. Every girl deserves to be given an opportunity to succeed in life. STOP THE DISCRIMINATION NOW!

#BringBackOurGirls

We join in the struggle to bring back the Chibok girls ALIVE. We have always supported and encouraged girl-child education through our girl-child initiatives. We will do everything within our means to ensure the African girl child is educated as we believe in the power of women and girls to bring positive change in the world. We believe in "Girl Power". It is therefore disheartening to note that some people are trying to "stop" the spread of Western education especially for girls in Nigeria.

Our hearts bleed for the innocent Chibok girls kidnapped from their school since last April in Nigeria.

Please lend your voice to this cause so the girls can be brought back to their distraught families alive.

Join in the fight to #BringBackOurGirls.
