Blog Post Sensitisation programme at Uzam Community School, Amaechi Idodo January 22, 2026 11:00 am Every child deserves to feel safe—at home, in school, and within the community. But ensuring that safety doesn’t happen by chance; it requires awareness, vigilance, and action from all of us. On this basis, in partnership with the Office of the First Lady of Enugu State, we organised a sensitisation programme at Uzam Community School, Amaechi Idodo, engaging both children and teachers on the realities of child abuse and the role they play in preventing it. From the moment we arrived, the energy was high. Our Managing Director, Comr. Egodi Igwe, kicked things off with lively activities—singing, games, and conversations that encouraged the children to express their dreams. More than just fun, these moments helped set the stage for deeper discussions, reminding them of their worth and potential. The Technical Adviser on Gender Matters, Dr. Uzoamaka Okenwa Uzoechina, led a powerful conversation on child abuse—how to recognise the warning signs, why it’s important to speak up, and how teachers can step in to protect their pupils. We also tackled bullying, allowing the children to share their experiences and explore ways to create a kinder, more inclusive school environment. To keep them engaged, we organised a quiz, rewarding those who answered correctly with prizes. No child was left out—we made sure everyone had snacks and drinks, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. The head teachers also made a commitment to be more intentional in safeguarding their pupils, reinforcing the message that protecting children is a responsibility we all share. At Custos Care Foundation, we are not just starting conversations—we are driving change. Our children deserve to grow up without fear, and together, we are making sure they do.

Blog Post Recognising the vital role of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) in public health and sustainable development January 22, 2026 10:50 am We took the Mobile Clinic Medical Outreach program to Awgu Local Government Area, where more than 700 residents received free medical care during a one-day outreach held at the Awgu LGA Headquarters. The outreach was organised in partnership with the Office of the First Lady, Enugu State. Throughout the day, residents were screened and treated for conditions including malaria, hypertension, diabetes, and HIV. Eye examinations and body mass index checks were also carried out, with free prescription eyeglasses distributed to those with visual impairments. Children received deworming treatment, while all participants had access to general medical consultations with qualified professionals. Health education sessions ran alongside these services, encouraging healthier habits and early detection of preventable illnesses. The medical team was led by Professor Uchenna Agu, Chairman of the Enugu State Hospital Management Board, whose leadership ensured a smooth and professional delivery of care. Dr JohnPaul Nnagbo delivered an impactful session on cervical cancer awareness and the importance of vaccination, while Nurse Philomena Asogwa provided practical insights on everyday wellness and preventive healthcare. Comrade Egodi Igwe, Managing Director of Custos Care Foundation, reaffirmed the Foundation’s mission to make healthcare more inclusive and within reach for every community. The Executive Chairman of Awgu LGA, Hon Uche Okolo, expressed his appreciation for the initiative and commended Mrs Mbah and His Excellency, Governor Peter Mbah, for their commitment to strengthening healthcare systems at the grassroots. By taking medical care directly to the people, we restore dignity, improve lives, and build stronger communities from the ground up. We move closer to the future we envision, one local government at a time.
