The Rural People

This should have come during your birthday but permit me to celebrate you on this good Friday evening. Meeting you on that fateful day28th October2004 was controversial, accepting and having implicit faith in me was more controversial then my unofficial adoption into daughterhood by you was the greatest controversy that still left many quarters confused till date.

They are the first daughters. As first daughters they were not allowed to get married by culture.  Their parents who supported them in this horrible culture are now dead.  Today, these women have been deprived of marriage, children and having a family life of their own and they form part of our project.  Lets do whatever we can to add value to what is left of them.  Partner with us today.

I met someone special and specialty is not enough to describe her. She is an orphan of17 years, was abandoned at a healing home (a church that accommodates people possessed of evil spirits and keeps them until they feel that the devil is finally cast out through prayers). When I interacted with her, she admitted that she was always falling and fainting until her relatives finally abandoned her in the healing home. She confided in me that a kind nurse who observed her secretly started treating her of epilepsy and now she's better. The big problem is where would she live as home and how can she learn a trade or skill because the sickness lasted for about six years. When I discussed with members of her immediate environment, they were still sure that the evil spirit has only left her for a small time and will still come back.   She said she would want to be a professional fashion designer. My heart still cries for her. Wondering why life is like this for some people yet others have

We thank all our friends, partners and donors who made it possible for us to reach out to these widows with some fertilizers. For some of them, its the first act of kindness they were receiving since they lost their husband to death.

On behalf of The Rural People, we celebrate every woman of character and virtue who has paid the price (or is still paying the price) of facing challenges gallantly and standing tall to say 'I AM A WOMAN AND I CAN MAKE IT'.

Forced into Motherhood:Plights of Underage Pregnant Girls. As we marked International Women's Day 2016, The Rural People were on air live to discuss about underage pregnant girls.  Research proved that sexual abuse is the disgraceful major cause of underage pregnancies.
