Poverty Is Sexist

Being born female in one of the poorest countries means your life will be harder, simply because of your gender.

A woman in Sierra Leone is 183 times more likely to die giving birth than a woman in Switzerland.

Unlocking the full potential of girls and women wouldn't just transform their own lives, or even their families'- it could help end extreme poverty for good- Culled from ONE Campaign

Support and encourage girl-child education. ''Educate a man and you educate an individual. Educate a woman and you educate a nation.''- James Emman Aggrey

Support and encourage women empowerment. Give women the power to decide their own future.

Save Our Needy Becomes Civicus Alliance Member

We are proud and excited to announce that we are now a member of Civicus Alliance.

We join this global organisation, as well as other reputable NGOs around the world, in the quest to make the world a better place for all.

We wholeheartedly lend our voice to this laudable cause.

 

Support The ''One Child, One Schoolbag'' Project

Education is the engine of development, and where there is lack of education, development is stunted. The biggest factor responsible for African underdevelopment is its failure to make bold investments in education, and until this issue is addressed, Africa will remain poor.

Education is the key to gender equality, economic promotion, better health and much more.

Access to basic education is however still a distant dream for many children in Africa particularly girls.

In response to these issues, Save Our Needy (S.O.N) is embarking on a 3- day project from May 25th to May 27th 2015 to encourage parents and caregivers who have little or no resources to not only enrol their children and wards, particularly girls, into schools but also sustain them there.

Schoolbags, writing materials and water bottles will be donated to 1000 disadvantaged children.

Please support us with your donations in order to make this laudable initiative a huge success.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

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!!!
