In year 2010 alone, the organization did a lot in the area of empowering women, youth and children in the area of: Advocacy, Social mobilization, Sensitization, Health, Capacity building, (skill acquisition) and Orphans and Vulnerable Children, (OVC).

The Breast and Cervical Cancer Preventive Initiative was launched with a massive public awareness programme organized to sensitize the people to the importance of screening the cervix for early detection of potential cancerous cells. This was followed by the training of health workers on screening procedure and possible treatment of positive cases.

Medical equipment were procured by the organization and distributed to some Basic Health centers in Ondo State, Nigeria, so that the women in rural areas can have access to cervical cancer screening.

An essay competition was organized to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the nation’s independence on 1st October 2010. Various gifts were given to students who excelled in the various categories of the competition.

In the first quarter of 2011, WOYWA achieved a lot in the area of advocacy and social mobilization which was channeled towards: Gender Bias in the Nigerian electoral process. The organization was fully involved in the sensitization and training of the 2011 Election voters.
Also, there was notable improvement in the number of screened women at the WOYWA Cervical Screening Centers as a result of proper monitoring.

*KEY CHALLENGES
(Insufficient Funding)
The major challenge facing the organization has been insufficient funding. The organization intends to take its Breast and Cervical Cancer Preventive Initiative (BCCPI) to other Local Governments in Ondo state, other states in Nigeria and other countries in the world where interventions like ours are required. This can be made possible if our activities are adequately funded by donors, as well as, public and private project branding collaborations.
