LAUNCHING/INAUGURATION OF THE PROPOSED RELIEF/SKILLS ACQUISITION CENTRE OF AMOJI NENWE TOWN UNION WOMEN WING

 






















3. The moral decadence among our youths is growing at an alarming rate. For the girls, laziness and idleness have contributed to a high rate of teenage pregnancies among young unmarried females.

These and other disturbing observations have stirred up our desire towards thinking of solutions that will improve the life and livelihood of our rural sisters and their children.

We, the women wing of ANTU National are therefore requesting the support of our people to actualize the under listed proposal;

 1.  Setting up a skill acquisition Centre where the following activities will be run.

a). Training younger women on skills that include Hair dressing, Tailoring (Fashion Designing), Decorations, Cosmetology, Bead-making etc.

b). Training our women farmers on some modern farming techniques, food processing and preservation. They will also be taught how to obtain high yielding crop seedlings and fertilizer procurement at cheaper rates. We are already liaising with the relevant state government ministries and other agencies for their continued support.

2.  We shall also be organizing trainings on some aspects of Animal Husbandry. Trainings on High-yielding species in Poultry, Snail farming, Fishery and Mushroom, etc.

So far, we are pleased to inform you that the Amoji Nenwe Community has already donated a large piece of land at a central place that can comfortably accommodate all the structures required for these proposed activities. We sincerely recognize the support and cooperation of Hon. Osondu Ezeh (Our PG), Mr. Patrick Omemgboji (Chairman Ndiagbonese), our eight community chairmen and our community Elders that contributed a lot towards acquiring this suitable land.

We are also delighted to state that we have registered with the Farmers Cooperative Society. Presently we have two Cooperative Society certificates from the state and have also registered under the state women Commission so that our women will not be left out in case of any benefits from the governments (State/LGA).

ASSISTANCE REQUIRED


1) Financial support to enable us carry out the construction of the Training Centre and procure some of the equipments for immediate takeoff.

2) Donations of relevant training equipment and construction materials.

(Please find attached the list and current prices of some of the equipment we need for setting up the relief / Skill acquisition centre).

3)  Your presence and support during our upcoming Inauguration and launching of the program which the date is scheduled for 

19th APRIL, 2022, by 10am. 

Venue: Umulagu Village Square, Ugba, Amoji- Nenwe is highly needed.

4)  Linking us with any authorities in your capacity that can contribute towards the success and sustenance of this program.

5) Any other form of support or assistance that you can think out in our favour.

6) May God bless your thoughts as you brainstorm with our folks in your contact.

CONCLUSION

We sincerely hope that if we get your full support towards implementing this laudable program, our young ones will grow to be useful and productive in our community. They will also successfully combat the moral vices that have attacked them for too long. No more idle hands for the devil's workshop.

We will also be succeeding in modernizing the life of our rural women in agriculture and trade. This will enrich them towards greater family support and help them cope with the daily challenges of life.

May God continue to bless you as we look forward to regular communication with you and your full cooperation in the life of this program.

NOL / PPFN MEDICAL OUTREACH (March 2022)


*THE MARCH 2022 NOL/PPFN MEDICAL OUTREACH IN NENWE: THE POST- MORTEM ANALYSIS REPORT*: 

_How it came about, what was achieved, chronic underutilization of the hospital, and  Recommendation for rejuvenated Nenwe Cottage Hospital Center_ 

*HOW IT CAME ABOUT*  It was all by happenstance, inspired by the idea initially floated by Mrs. Ijeoma J.Ekeh (nee Ezeh), a member of the NOL family platforms upon her return from a service training  (Masters degree  Community Health)in the Netherlands. 

 When the chance to host the March 2022 Medical Outreach in Nenwe became open, NOL Board then learned that it had *less than ten days* to concretize feasible plans to enable it happen or risk losing the chance to other competing communities. To further complicate the matters for the NOL BOARD, _the platform was within the same time frame, hosting a fundraiser for a *security house to be built by the gate* of the Nenwe Cottage Hospital Center._ The prospect of losing the chance to leverage the PPFN open slot for the service of the Community was merely starting down, the NOL BOARD of Administrators rallied and quickly put together the NOL/PPFN Medical Outreach Committee. The Committee, with no viable option for soliciting for external funding support *had to rely on itself to come up with the seed money needed to take care of some of the basic logistic requirements for a successful outreach such as this*. The Committee and NOL Board of Administrators are so thankful for the financial and volunteer support that eventually came from *our NOL members*, and Community partners such as the *Emudo Nenwe Ambassadors Association, ENAA*

 *WHAT WAS ACHIEVED*        The two- day, back-to-back (Thursday, March 10, & Friday, March 11, 2022) Community Medical Outreach program at the Nenwe Cottage Hospital Center was, by every account, a huge success.A total of 462 *documented outpatient* attendees showed up at the event in the course of the two days and in the following population spread:         

*Day 1*:  213 patients were seen by the health service providers. Of this number, 47 males were screened for *prostate cancer*, and 72 females were screened for *cervical cancer*. The rest were screened for various health issues including HIV.

*Day 2*: 249 documented new out patients were attended to by the NOL/PPFN team of health service providers, an increase over the Day 1 event, suggesting an uptick in popularity of the services provided. Included in this number were 62 males who requested and were screened for prostate cancer, and 91 women that requested, and were screened for cervical cancer. The rest of the day 2 population presented various other health needs, and were attended to by the team of health service providers, according to the register.          

 As was expected, the clinical conditions flagged by then i healthcare providers varied in their levels or degrees of seriousness - some received stabilizing treatment, while referrals were arranged for the rest of the population at each of the 2 day events.        

 *UNDERUTILIZATION OF THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL CENTER* : 

The organizers of the NOL/PPFN Medical Outreach noted with concern the reluctance of the locals to patronize the primary health center preferring to seek medical service, when needed, outside this State University Teaching Hospital-affiliated Center. Through live interviews of a cross section of the community the reasons for the underutilization came in different flavors of complexity. However, to help eliminate one of the barriers to full capacity utilisations of the hospital Center, the NOL/ PPFN team had to pay, for all attendees, the hospital Center requested patient cards. The payments were made to encourage recurring needed use of the hospital as a first line of contact by the Community residents in search of health care services. But the long term, and medium term solutions to the problems are much more than payment for the patient card.   

 *RECOMMENDATION FOR  REJUVENATED NENWE COTTAGE HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER*  

As a practical solution to most of the hinderances to achieving full capacity utilization of the Cottage Hospital, the report strongly recommends an *overhaul or creation of a local management for the hospital that would be charged with direct day-to-day running of the  hospital*. This management team, to be effective and responsive to the needs of the Community, *must co-opt members of the Community who are well suited to serve as advocates of the hospital and the Nenwe Community*.
