Education Community Development CDS Group Sokoto Project
Success Story: "Pad a Girl Child" Campaign Brings Smiles to 100 Students at Government Girls College, Mabera Sokoto.

On Thurday, we hosted our "Pad a Girl Child" campaign at Government Girls College, Mabera Sokoto where 100 students received 2 packets of reusable sanitary pads each from the Education Community Development CDS Group. The smiles on the faces of these young girls said it all - they were grateful for this essential item that would allow them to attend school with confidence and dignity. This program is an important step towards ensuring that young girls have access to the resources they need to stay in school and receive an education. Lack of access to sanitary pads is a major barrier to education for many girls, and it's our goal to break down this barrier and promote education for all.
The students at Government Girls College, Mabera Sokoto State expressed their gratitude to us for supporting them in their quest for education and promised to never forget the positive impact that we have made.

We are proud to be part of a movement that is empowering young girls and giving them the support, they need to succeed. It's a privilege to be able to make a difference in the lives of these students, and we are grateful for the support of our donors who made this program possible.

We deeply appreciate the NYSC State Coordinator Sokoto, Alhaji Mohammed Nakamba for granting us approval for this project, the school Principal for hosting us, our staff advisor Mal. Abdulmalik M. Sani for his influence and support as well as the entire members of the Education Development CDS Group for putting in their time, efforts, and resources towards seeing a fulfilled sensitization program!

Better Education, Develops the Nation.

With the assistance of many kind donors, we have previously been able to carry out a number of sensitization and campaign programs aimed at students and the less privileged. Through these programs, we have positively impacted the lives of about 150 students and orphans by giving them some educational materials and food/provision items.

This time around, our goal is to provide sanitary pads to 300 secondary school girls in in order to reduce the increasing rate of absenteeism amongst the school girls as a result of the inaccessible sanitary pads and to support their quest for higher quality education.

Exciting news!!! The NYSC Education Development CDS Group, Sokoto under the leadership of its President Abdullahi Bello Muhammad, is proud to announce our "Pad a Girl Child Campaign" initiative and a “Day with Orphans” launching on February 9th and 10th respectively!

Our goal is to provide 300 school girls with access to menstrual hygiene products including -USablePADs and health/hygiene education to break down the stigma and promote gender equality. With the high cost and economic hardship faced by many families, it's imperative that we step in and support these girls to ensure their education and well-being are not interrupted by a lack of access to menstrual products. Join us in making a difference, ensuring all girls have access to the resources they need, and creating a brighter future for all.

Let's make a difference together!

[Tips on How to Deliver a Pitch Investors Simply Can't Turn Down]

Pitch is what you say and present to potential investors to market yourself, your idea, and your business -- not just to inspire them to invest, but to rush to be first in the queue!

We urge you to study and discuss each of these tips with your friends but let me give you the most important tip of all—Securing funding from investors who invite you to make a pitch is won or lost long before you arrive to make your pitch!

__It's going to be decided by the PREPARATIONS you make in the months and weeks leading up to that pitch. Let's get started.

"Your pitch is the single thing that could either get your business off the ground or plunge your idea into eternal oblivion. It matters.”

The rule of thumb for investors is that for every 100 investments they make, only 10 will go big.

Let me take that rule of thumb a step further. For every 1,000 pitches an investor hears, he or she will fund only 100 of them. Statistically, the odds for success are not great. You can beat the statistics, however, by crafting a pitch that turns heads and gets funded.

What are the ingredients of an ultra-compelling, irresistible, outstanding, and unforgettable pitch?

1. Take only ten minutes.

Timing is critical. The less time your pitch takes, the better.

A brilliant idea means nothing unless you can distill it to a few moments of sheer power. The more concise you can be, the more effective you will be. Here are a few timing pointers:

# If you say that you’ll take “only X minutes,” then take at least one minute less.

# If you are told, “You only have X minutes to pitch,” then take at least five minutes less.

# If you say, “One last thing” or something similar, then make sure it’s truly the one last thing.

# Move at a good pace. Don’t rush at the end.

# If you’re using slides, don’t get stuck on one slide for more than three minutes.

Here’s the great thing about taking ten minutes. If the investors are really interested, they’ll ask questions. If they’re not interested, then you will have saved them (and yourself) some time.

2. Turn your pitch into a story.

Storytelling is a scientifically-proven way to capture a listener’s attention and hold it. Besides, it makes your pitch unforgettable.

Investors are bored with spreadsheets, valuations and numbers. If they want that information, they can get it. What you can offer that no term sheet can convey is the story and pathos behind your startup. Everyone loves a good story, even the most data-driven investor.

So, tell your story and tell it right. You're bound to gain attention, and the funding will follow.

3. Be laser-focused.

Investors' time is their most valuable asset. If you convey a respect for their time, they will interpret that respect as your ability to treat their funding with respect.

Because time is important, you need to develop an absolute focus on the core components of your pitch. What are those core components? They're detailed in the following tips.

4. Explain EXACTLY what your product or service is.

Show your potential investors a picture of, or give them the actual product to handle. Be careful not to drone endlessly on about your product. Honestly, investors don’t really care about your product as much as they care about the money that your product will make. The sooner you get to the good stuff -- the money -- the better.

Remember, The opportunity to pitch to an investor can come at any time, in any place. It doesn't always happen in a formal way on a set date in a boardroom. You might run into a potential investor unexpectedly and need to be ready right then and there.

You should work on your "elevator pitch" without a moment to lose. This means a pitch 20 to 90 seconds in length from beginning to end [only more formal pitches can be longer.

Practice filming it on your phone if you can, then when it's ready, why not publish it on to you investors.
