CIfA: FOUNDER RECOGNISED FOR STRIDES IN UPLIFTING THE DOWNTRODDEN.

By Stephen Ojang

None is perfect but we all are striving towards perfetion. We are all aspiring to be like Jesus Christ. This aspiration is a call for our soul to be filled with peace and love.

Embedded with strong love that defeats hatred, she has been strengthened to overcome adversities.

From the inception of her project, the Community Impact for Africa CIfA, she was filled with courage and youthful exuberance, to lift up the downtrodden. It's therefore no doubt that her choice fell on the elderly, women and youths.

As a golden fish that has no hiding place, Ngwanwi Lidwina Munting was distinguished by Young Citizens Contributing Positively, YOCICOPO for her efforts as a social worker and founder of CIfA.

Exemplary, righteous and a virtuous woman, these rare qualities of this young and dynamic young lady caught the eyes of the jury of the 4th edition of the YOCICOPO Awards.

Ojslim media celebrates her today not only because of her ability to inspire, but because of the key roles she plays in giving solace to the elderly, women, youths and other persons she touches. The founding of CIfA has been a source of joy to the elderly this year 2019.

Barely few months after celebrating the 2019 international day of the older persons, here is Ngwanwi Lidwina Munting, receiving an award for her enormous and positive contribution to development. Indeed, she journeys to age equality. Her strides as a social worker and founder of CIfA necessitated this award.

YOCICOPO, it should be recalled, is a young citizens contributing positively award scheme put in place to encourage, celebrate people and organisations who distinguish themselves through their impact on people, the society, development and for the advancement of mankind. Your big or little contribution, will not be left unnoticed.

Traditional Leaders Urge Government to Address Drug Abuse in Ntarikon 2 Community

On November 20, 2024, community spokespeople from the Adjust for Me project engaged religious and traditional leaders in an open discussion during a door-to-door sensitization campaign in Ntarikon 2. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about the growing concerns of drug abuse and gender-based violence (GBV) within the community. Through this dialogue, the project sought to educate both youths and religious leaders on the dangers of substance abuse and to address how gender-based violence can be reduced in both the church and local communities. Many religious leaders expressed that while some progress has been made, the increasing prevalence of drug abuse among young people remains a pressing concern. "Our youths are falling victim to drugs, and it's taking a toll on their health, well-being, and futures," one community leader remarked. The discussion linked the rise in drug abuse to the economic challenges and ongoing socio-political unrest that have left many youths ...
