Our story started way back in 2009, when the General Coordinator embarked on the commonly known one year mandatory National Youth Service Corp training in Nigeria. In this year, there was less understanding of the gravity and unfolding calamity of environmental change and impact in the local areas of her service, even though there were obvious environmental and social changes. During this period, the general coordinator never relented in her effort to contribute to the physical, social and environmental issues surrounding the community, even with the little knowledge of what climate change was all about.

The motive for this action was taken, when the community secondary/high school student had to come to school in the afternoon when the pupils of a nearby schools would have closed to enable them to use the only school block available, and most especially the girls would have to be mandated to attend their parents farms, and complete house chores before attending school in the afternoon.

In search of a practical solution to support the school environment, the students' health and mental well being, we decided to provide them with a learning classroom where they can attend schools at the normal early hours as recommended globally for every child/student. Thereafter, we discovered that most of the older female students were constantly deprived from coming to the school for gender based reasons with the philosophy that women are not allowed to attain too much education as they mainly wouldn’t use it, and therefore, there was no need to attend school. This notion had affected the majority of the girls, as efforts to make them understand the importance of education were found abortive within the one year program. Later down the line, we discovered through research/survey, that what was discovered in that particular community is what is happening across many communities, especially in Africa, and other developing countries.

We further discovered through our engagement with the community women farmers, and the girls that a majority of the gender had zero idea of what has impacted on their crops, roofs, environment and the air they breathe. This further led us to carry out some interviews to gather feedback from what the community members thought could be  what is actually and speedily affecting almost all aspects of their sources of livelihood. We found out that a majority of the feedback was a statement like “that's how God designed the world”. This was the realization that birthed the zeal for this outreach, creating awareness, providing education materials, adaptation mechanism and sensitisation movement to as many women and girls as possible.
