On June 26–27, Help a Mother and Newborn Initiative (HMNI) wrapped up the final recap session of our EmpowerHer Journey a heartfelt celebration of progress, purpose, and possibility for our young mothers and dedicated CHVs across nine health facilities in Margibi County.

Since April 2024, this journey has equipped first-time and young mothers with life-changing knowledge from pregnancy nutrition to newborn care, family planning, and beyond. Through interactive sessions, knowledge evaluations, inspiring testimonials, and joyful celebration, we reflected on the impact made and the path ahead.

What’s next? Skills training. Startup funding. CHV recognition. And continued community empowerment. Because this is not the end it’s a powerful new beginning. Together, we’re building stronger, safer, and more hopeful futures one empowered mother at a time.

In Celebration of the Day of the African Child 2025

On Friday, June 20, 2025, Help a Mother and Newborn Initiative hosted an exciting Peer-to-Peer Clubs interactive event held across Kakata and Firestone in Lower and Upper Margibi County. This gathering brought together over 200 students and teachers from 8 partner schools-united by a shared commitment to health, education, and youth leadership.

The day featured lively quizzing competitions, debates, kickball matches, and traditional games, creating a safe space for young people to learn, express themselves, and grow as changemakers.

Through peer learning and friendly competition, students demonstrated how far they’ve come in understanding their rights and responsibilities, particularly in areas of health education, leadership, and community support.

As we mark this important day, we reaffirm our belief in the potential of every African child to lead, to thrive, and to shape a healthier, more just future.

We are proud to be called African—not only because we were born on this soil, but because of our identity, our rich culture, and our unique way of life.

On this 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱, under the theme “𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟎,” we reflect on the strides made in ensuring every African child’s rights are protected, prioritized, and funded. As we celebrate our heritage, we also renew our commitment to building a future where every child has access to education, healthcare, and opportunities to thrive, because the wellbeing of our children defines the strength of our continent.

Celebrating the Closing Ceremony of the SRHR Coaching Masterclass

On Saturday, June 7, 2025, Help a Mother and Newborn Initiative (HMNI) successfully concluded its SRHR Coaching Masterclass, certifying 23 dynamic young leaders as Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Coaches after an intensive 2 months Masterclass couple with field trip and project implementation.

Throughout the 2 months Masterclass, participants engaged in intensive training sessions, community outreach, and hands-on learning experiences. They emerged equipped with practical knowledge, advocacy tools, and the confidence to champion SRHR causes in their schools and communities.

The closing program was graced by our esteemed keynote speaker Mrs. Dwede Tarpeh, who reminded us that access to health services and rights should never be selective and that “silence protects the structure that keeps us where we are.”

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the SRHR Masterclass Participants for their dedication and commitment, and to our partners, facilitators, and coordinators whose unwavering support made this journey possible.

As these certified SRHR Coaches begin this new chapter, we echo the call to action from our guest speaker:
“Be afraid of youth silence, but never be afraid of youth empowerment.”

Together, we continue to strive for a future where every young person can access the health services and information they need without fear, stigma, or silence.
