We organizes caregivers’ forum where guardians and parents are educated on Sexual and Reproductive Health as their right, the advantages of a safe and clean environment, regular health check-up, Children Education, Nutrition and Immunization for children, Sexual and Reproductive Health services - use of modern Family Planning, Maternal New born Child Health (MNCH) e.g. Safe-motherhood, Child-Spacing. We encourage women especially young women and Girl-Child to realize their values and potentials through skill acquisition training programs. Once in a year we mobilize them for HIV and Breast and Cervical cancer screening. WICCI empower women to have a voice in their communities through sensitization and enlightenment programs.

CHILDREN
Children are exposed to ideas that make them think positively about the world around them. We give them Nutritional support which is necessary for growth and the best legacy – quality education to place them in leadership positions. We enroll out-of-schools children, mostly girls back to school, pay their school levies and provide them with scholastic materials. We have supported/empowered over 500 vulnerable children in Abeokuta, Ogun State with various interventions ranging from Sexual and Health Education, Nutritional, Educational and Vocational skill acquisition programs.

ENVIRONMENT: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
(WASH) and Waste management are major environmental problems that our organization has its focus on. In 2005 the WHO estimated that 1 in 3 people are still without sanitation facilities while 663 million people still lack access to safe and clean drinking water. Maintaining good hygiene, adequate sanitation and proper hygiene education can reduce illness and death more so, keeping good hygiene is important for both health and social reasons. It entails keeping your hands, head, and body clean so as to stop the spread of germs and illness. In promoting SDG 6, which is global access to safe water, WICCI with support of our Partner provided a solar-panel borehole system for a community in Odeda Local Government, Ogun State, Nigeria. It conveniently serves four other neighboring communities.
