Every day, thousands of people depend on blood transfusions to survive emergencies, childbirth complications, surgeries, accidents, and life-threatening illnesses. Yet, many lives are still lost due to shortages of safe blood.
On this World Blood Donor Day, Concern for Women and Children Development Foundation (COWACDI) recognizes and celebrates the selfless individuals whose blood donations provide hope and a second chance at life for those in need.
Blood cannot be manufactured—it can only come from generous donors. A single donation can save up to three lives, making voluntary blood donation one of the most powerful acts of humanity and compassion.
As we mark this important day, we call on communities, youth groups, healthcare workers, partners, and stakeholders to promote a culture of regular voluntary blood donation. Together, we can strengthen healthcare systems, improve maternal and child health outcomes, and ensure that no life is lost due to a lack of safe blood.
International Women’s Day 2026 Celebration
COWACDI commemorated International Women’s Day under the theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls.” The event brought together women, community members, from #Dala, #Mashamari, #Galtimari Fori, #Bayan Bakassi and stakeholders to reflect on the importance of promoting women’s rights, advancing justice, and taking meaningful action to ensure equal opportunities for all women and girls.
The celebration served as a platform to amplify the voices of women, encourage inclusive participation, and reaffirm our collective commitment to gender equality and empowerment within our communities.
We appreciate the continued support and collaboration of our partners European Union, Norwegian Refugee Council, German Cooperation, GIZ, and the Federal Government of Nigeria in promoting gender equality and empowering women and girls.
Together, we continue to advocate for a society where every woman and girl can thrive with dignity, opportunity, and equal rights.
Strengthening Peace Across Borders – Cross-Border Seminar.
As part of its continued commitment to promoting peace, social cohesion, and community resilience in conflict-affected communities, COWACDI convened a Cross-Border Seminar bringing together community representatives, local authorities, and civil society actors from border communities.
The seminar aims to strengthen dialogue, collaboration, and peaceful coexistence across borders. Discussions focused on shared challenges affecting border communities, including displacement and the presence of refugees, while exploring joint approaches to promote social cohesion and community resilience.
The seminar also provides a platform for participants to exchange experiences and identify practical solutions to support peace and stability across the Lake Chad Basin.
