Why is it difficult to get Partners Related to country: Nigeria
For over two years we have been looking for partners and technical assistance to help us in our HIV/AIDS programme in the rural community of Nigeria. I hope help will not come when all the youths are dead. Find more information about us in the link below www.mgbala-agwa.org

CTY Gets Royal Blessing The Catch Them Young (CTY) program was launched February 15, 2006, by the traditional ruler of the Mgbala Agwa Autonomous community, Eze Charles A Ukwu. This public event was held a day after Lover's Day (Valentines Day) to officially launch the program and draw special attention to it within the Mgbala Agwa community. Declaring the program open, Eze Charles A Ukwu commended the Mgbala Agwa Youth Forum (MAYF) for its proactiveness in adressing the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS in the community. He praised youths for helping reshape the battered social and cultural activities of the Mgbala Agwa community, particularly their commitment to community health issues. HIV, he said, has decimated the uninformed rural community of Mgbala Agwa, reversing community progress. Eze Charles A Ukwu told attendees at the event that he was very proud of the awareness on HIV and other health related issues that community youths have helped create, assuring them of his continued and unreserved support of their efforts. Eze Charles A Ukwu thanked the Swedish organization Internationellt KulturUtbyte (IKU) for believing in and supporting the cause of Mgbala Agwa youths, citing MAYF partnership with IKU as a model for other other international agencies and donor organisations. Additionally, he gave special thanks to Mr. Nduka Ozor, MAYF coordinator, for his resilance and persistence in overcoming significant financial challenges to the MAYF program. In response, Mr. Ozor thanked Eze Charles A Ukwu for his kind snf generous praise, noting that couldn't have done it alone without the support of his online volunteers. Mr. Ozor also shared with attendees of the event some personal recollections, noting that prior to venturing into the MAYF program he had been awed by the challenges and constraints he would have to face. He further called upon members of the Mgbala Agwa community to allow female children to be actively involved in the program. At the conclusion of official events, attendees were shown a play by Mgbala Agwa youths on the dangers of HIV/AIDS that was well-received by the community.

Not just complaining, but demanding also Dear Nduka, You are a great job out there. What measures have you undertaken so far to mobilise resources for your org. and/or project? You see we, African youth, have to really wake up and acknowledge and fully realise the fact we are living in times that we can no longer be complaining; we have to demand our rights from regional, national and international power institutions. Good luck dear and no.....help will not arrive when our youth are dead. We have to hopeful but also mindful of our rights. Sahro
