Today is the D Day of our February theme which is #SocialJustice 

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

World Day of Social Justice is

20th February set aside by the United Nations.

Their focus theme for the celebration is Strengthening a Just Transition for a Sustainable Future.

Strengthening a just transition for a sustainable future means making sure our move toward low-carbon economies benefits everyone, especially the most vulnerable. It requires a holistic approach that weaves environmental sustainability (TLF's March theme) with social justice (TLF's February theme), ensuring that workers (TLF's June theme), indigenous peoples, and marginalized communities receive the support they need (TLF's December theme) —through retraining, job creation, and strong social protection measures. 

Decarbonization and economic transformation should support policies that fight poverty, reduce inequality, and open up opportunities for all and in the end profer solutions to charity and social development which is the aim and objectives of TLF.

At the heart of this is synchronizing “just transition” principles into both global and national policies. These would redirect investments into emerging green sectors, building a resilient workforce and a more equitable society.

Through collective action and inclusive policies, we can create a future where environmental integrity and social equity go hand in hand, forming the foundation of a truly sustainable global economy.

The General Assembly of the UN recognizes that social development and social justice are indispensable for the achievement and maintenance of peace and security within and among nations and that, in turn, social development and social justice cannot be attained in the absence of peace and security, or in the absence of respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms.

It was on the 26th of November 2007, that the General Assembly declared that, starting from the 63rd session of the General Assembly, 20th February will be celebrated annually as the World Day of Social Justice.

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
