Rehab 9000 Inmates For Tranquility In Nigeria 2030

REHABILITATING 9000  INMATES; Saving Families, youth and community.

On delivering the message of successful transformation of her son Emeka, his mother danced and shed tears of joy.
Emeka is a 20 year old boy who is under incarceration for nefarious activities, a
is one of our clients in a correctional centers in Umuahia. He has been coached in football and he's looking forward to being discharged when he shall be fully employed to become a professional footballer.
Emeka is one of our youth clients in Champions For Humanity Development Initiative (C4HDI) who had shown keen interest in sports and our coaches sported him for higher endeavours. Being a transformed youth from our project, he sends messages across to his peers that he no longer smokes naming the ills associated with drugs. He is one of our beneficiaries out of many who are benefiting from our sports and coaching sector.

INFLATION AFFECTING OUR ZEAL AND VISITS TO THE INCARCERATED INMATES.
The sky rocketing prices of goods and services in my community is affecting our zeal in work. Recently, there's another world known increase in petrol and petroleum products in Nigeria. It didn't stop of from delivering our services to our youth clients in incarceration but it only affected our power to convince other service givers to us. Our coaching consultants are demanding for more salaries which is evidently affected by the increase in pump prices of petrol in my local community. We have since analyzed this in our SMART TOOL and chosen the solution of more campaigns to able to render our services to our clients. We have known from the results that we are succeeding. More than a quarter of our clients have been well trained in their various fields and about 10% of that shall be discharged soon. In general, there has been a decline in youth nefarious activities in Umuahia axis due to our project and about 1% less the rate and number of youth being incarcerated.

DISCHARGED INCARCERATED INMATES EAGER TO PERFORM.
Some recently discharged incarcerated youth who have been trained and coached in sporting activities are eager to perform in field and show the skills we taught them. C4HDI is making frantic efforts to organize friendly matches to accommodate them. The youth which constitutes about 60% of our populations would have the opportunity to watch these released youth play in the field. Part of the fund realized from these matches form their salaries and so we understand their eagerness completely. Occasionally, C4HDI also organize social get together to accommodate the newly released incarcerated youth in my local community but for now, we are handicapped as our budget dissipates faster.

CREATING BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE INTERACTED.
Our clients together with local authorities, officers of the correctional centers and stakeholders are highly supportive of our project as it produces positive impacts to the youth and others in my local community. Emeka, the aforementioned client, promised to train about 25 youth on his release from incarceration. When interviewed, he revealed that he would do that by bringing his group back together to ensure that they embark on sporting which he shall gladly help in teaching them. This shall surely add gusto to the increased sustainable social active in my local community.
C4HDI is grateful to our donors and others for helping perfecting and scaling our project.
On behalf of all, our staff, volunteers and stakeholders, we say a big thank you again.

• Reporting from correctional center

Our volunteers played a surprising role to the entire stakeholders in this project. We were excited to them at the particular correctional centre that we had earlier booked to visit. Our surprise was inspired by the determination shown by beating the heavy rainfall that started the previous night and rained hours into our scheduled time of visit. Eventhough they were not allowed entry into the main living areas of the center, they were waiting patiently at the lounge for our arrival which was minutes less than two hours. On our way to the Abia correctional centre, we accidentally drove into a ditch on an un tarred terrain. It took us time to go hire a truck to pull our vehicle out of the deep ditch.
After exchanging pleasantries with our volunteers and stakeholders, we were allowed entry into the living area of the inmates. Some of the inmates were seen privately practicing carving, weaving reading while others were engaged in other sports activities.

On this special visit we had earlier informed them about, we bought different items from the normal. This time around, we added electric clippers for each and every one of them with their names inscribed in them. Special arrangements were made for the safety of all by handing them over to the caregivers who were instructed to issue them weekly under enhanced supervision in other not to use them for other purposes. Apart from seeing them daily, this special visit was utilized by our Moral Instructors to access them separately and differently. On a sudden assessment, a number of them could recite the 12 Golden rules they were taught. The 12 Golden rules are rules devised to help change the psyche of the inmates to becoming better individuals. It points out the purpose of work and how to work and how to relate with people honestly. On this special visit, both the officers, workers of C4HDI, volunteers and stakeholders were impressed. It'll be recalled that we invite volunteers monthly to give an independent assessment of the inmates vis a vis our training and teaching of the inmates.

On this day, we all had a light supper together at about late evening after preparing our reports of visit. One constant indicator of all the reports is the need to hire a farmland where practical farming can be performed by those inmates who have been undergoing teaching on various farming techniques for livestock and plant farming. C4HDI is currently negotiating for different farmlands in different locations where the discharged inmates can also gain employment. Our plan is to produce marketable foods from these farmlands to help greatly sustain our project
