Historical Background

The Centre for Communication and Reproductive Health Services (CCRHS) is a non profit, non - governmental organisation (NGO) registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Abuja, Nigeria. The cardinal goal is committed to improving the quality of life of the people in its immediate environment and Nigeria at large. It was established in 1998 in response to the need to create awareness in matters related to reproductive health issues to enhance safe motherhood. The campaign became paramount given the neglect women of reproductive age (16 - 54 years) suffer and the untold hardship and deprivation women experience as a result of unpalatable reproductive health situation in various communities in Nigeria. The centers activities started with the idea of using communication to advance frontiers in the troubled spots of human survival, particularly, reproductive health development and social transformation. This was further amplified through the use of communication for reproductive health education which was supported by MacArthur Foundation under its Fund for Leadership Development (FLD) program in Nigeria. The transformation of CCRHS into a viable and innovative NGO is as a result of the commitment and personal sacrifices of its founder with the support of skilled and dedicated staff who participated in the community - based reproductive health and family life education activities. In the few years that CCRHS has existed, it has addressed critical issues of concern to its immediate community such as maternal mortality and morbidity, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV/AIDS, adolescents social, sexual and reproductive health problems through advocacy, workshops, seminars and community outreach communication campaign and Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) intervention packages.

I might talk about how old I am, what I look like, and what I do for a living. (I'll try to be truthful!)

I might also include some information about my personal history: where I grew up, where I went to school, various places I've lived. If I have one, I'll include a picture of myself engaging in an activity I enjoy, such as a sport or hobby.

What a job!

I might describe my job in a little more detail here. I'll write about what I do, what I like best about it, and even some of the frustrations. (A job with frustrations? Hard to believe, huh?)
