Today is for the Girl Child

TLF joins the rest of the world to celebrate "The International Day of the Girl Child 2026" as observed on October 11th every year. 2026 Theme Interestingly is - "Ending child marriage and investing in girls' rights" A child by most laws around the world is anyone below the age of 18 years. Thus, child marriage would be considered as anyone marrying under the age of 18. Child Marriage is a global issue and 1 in 5 girls is married before the age of 18 (totaling roughly 650 million), with over 12 million girls married every year (1 every 3 seconds). Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest prevalence at 31%! The dire consequences of all these include lack of proper and complete education, and likely early child labour. Girls aged 15–19 are twice as likely as boys to be out of school, training, or employment.

Prof R. K. Egharevba goes home to our Heavenly Father!

Today we joined many physically and online to bid farewell to a great woman who left us at 85. Prof Mrs R. K. Egharevba was one of the early and first donors of TLF when we launched pre-incorporation. Grandma excelled in various fields and was often generous with her cash and kind to various groups. Over the years we have celebrated, visited and prayed for Grandma. The last occasion was sometime earlier this year when we visited the Health Centre she was admitted in but met that she had just been discharged. That would have been one of the last times we'd have had the privilege of seeing her and praying with her. TLF will not forget that we never ever asked Grandma before she herself started donating in cash to TLF. Even when we hadn't opened our TLF account, she'd find someone to send through to us. We had the opportunity to tell her thank you... Like the blind men feeling ajanaku many of us felt Grandma in different ways, but ours is that of generosity, seriousness, deep...

UN Days for the Month of October

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 October International Day of Older Persons  2 October International Day of Non-Violence   5 October World Teachers’ Day [UNESCO]  10 October World Mental Health Day [WHO] 11 October International Day of the Girl Child   13 October International Day for Disaster Reduction 15 October International Day of Rural Women 16 October World Food Day [FAO]   17 ...
