Rise 4 Women's Rights: Justice & Equality, Nigeria

"The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated." We cannot but thank you immensely for your kindness, generosity, and expression of solidarity to our project, "Gender Based Violence in Southeast"

In our last report dated June 12, we haven't made much progress as regards to receiving support in carrying out our humanitarian services for, "Help Fight Against Gender Based Violence in Southeast"

Balance of last project report expenditure: Balance brought forward = $-82.65

Due to high rate of inflation and economic challenges, it has not been easy for us in carrying out our humanitarian services.

One thing we need to understand is that, Gender-based violence is a human rights violation. Freedom from violence is a fundamental human right, and gender-based violence undermines a person's sense of self-worth and self-esteem. It affects not only physical health but also mental health and may lead to self-harm, isolation, depression and suicidal attempts.

Women and girls may experience severe physical injuries, unwanted pregnancies and exposure to HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the limited ability to complete daily tasks, and suicidal thoughts are also common.

Girls and women across Nigeria are falling victim to sexual assault, rape, and human trafficking. In response, The Sam Onyemaechi Humanitarian foundation is supporting an important initiative to prevent gender-based violence in Southeast. SOHF will launch an intensive program of education with 200 students in a in rural southeast school to understand and prevent sexual violence. We expect to change many young lives and will share the results widely.

Once again, thank you for your generous donation to "HELP FIGHT AGAINST GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IN S/EAST (54441) that supported these efforts. As the crises rages on, insecurity, uncertainty, and humanitarian needs abound. We are committed to providing humanitarian and long-term support to women and girls in rural communities

Moreso, #givingtuesday campaign is right around the corner, November 29, we will be grateful to partner with you on that special day. We will also give you update as the campaign approaches through our project appeal letter as a reminder for the campaign exercises. Thanks for considering our organization and proud to partner with us.

With Kindest regards,

Samonyemaechi humanitarian.
