On this day in history, over a thousand people gathered in Paris to honor the victims of extreme poverty, violence, and hunger. Poverty is a violation of human rights and we need to come together to ensure that these rights are respected. #EndPovertyDay
At Oando, we have taken and will continue to take actionable steps towards eradicating poverty as well as empowering people to do so.
Here are some of the steps we have taken so far. (follow the thread) #EndPovertyDay
Access to Education - @OandoFoundation is constantly working with key stakeholders to mobilize and support out-of- school children. Over 46,000 children have been enrolled to date. #EndPovertyDay
Water Sanitation - Along with our JV partners, we commissioned a clean water scheme in Agbere Community, Bayelsa State a few months ago, thereby providing access to clean and safe water to over 5,000 residents. #EndPovertyDay
Access to Technology - @OandoFoundation has established 33 ICT Centres in adopted schools across 11 States. Access to simple, life-improving technologies has the potential to guide our path towards eradicating poverty. #EndPovertyDay
