WELCOME MESSAGE
This is to welcome you to the Inclusive Community Education & Development Association (ICEADA) Website. We are glad that you have shown interest in us by visiting our website. This indeed strengthens our resolve to engage in community action for sustainable development.
As an NGO, we promote the principles and practice of inclusion in policy, service delivery, capacity building and innovations. Our targets are marginalised, excluded, left-outs, kept-outs and disenfranchised groups and communities. We strengthen actions around equity, access and justice for excluded populations. Our main areas of interests are Education, Health and Environment. The focus of ICEADA activities is largely Community Development, research, advocacy, capacity building, community mobilization, adult & non-formal education issues, project management and community project services.
From our humble beginning in 2005, we have targeted youths, women, girls, widows, divorcees, orphans and vulnerable children, at risk families and communities and disaster victims in such areas as awareness creation, empowerment, education and training, sports and recreation, mobilization, counseling support and vocational placement.
We have worked with reputable partners to implement School Development Schemes, Girls’ Scholarship and Mentoring programme, Capacity Building for Farmer Organisations, Research on Community Based Group Dynamics for Sustainable Agriculture, Radio Drama for Climate Change knowledge and practices sharing and adaptation, Drug Free Campaigns, Support for Widows and Divorcees and Community Based Disaster Management Education.
We want to stress our cardinal vision of sustainable communities where people live and learn to live cooperatively for mutual benefits and progress. In this regard our goals are to evolve holistic approaches for preventing and reducing barriers to learning in the community; and to stimulate interests of the populace on the need for action in improving quality of life and the environment.
We invite you to partner with us and support us to achieve this vision and to realize the goals. Click support us to see areas you can partner with us. However, in view of the challenges of educational quality and access especially for girls and women in Northern Nigeria we need support in two of our projects:
- Girl Child and Women Education Scholarship and Mentoring programmes
- Space and Chance to Read Programme (A Reading and Writing Skills promotion Initiative), Book Donation and Library services
In the area of Health, we require support to undertake Community Sensitization/mobilization on Safe Motherhood Initiatives, Immunization, Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS Education, Home Based Care and Support, Orphans and Vulnerable Children Support
On environment, our main focus is on community based disaster mitigation and management and climate change education at the grassroots level.
Thank you
