The session began by revisiting the previous meetup agenda and winnables, updating on the ongoing fundraising to help vulnerable kids return to school, exploring opportunities on Logos Activist Builder, and finally, our upcoming activity for October.
As a team and also as community advocates, the goal still remains building on the vision of Logos.
- Update on the ongoing fundraising to support Vulnerable children back to school
As the steward, i shared what we have been to able to do in regards to to fundraise which are:
-
Providing all the necessary information needed
-
Publishing it on fundbrave
-
Keeping track of the ongoing support and donation
I informed the members of the circle of the progress so far, and how to track whats going on on the platform.
- Exploring opportunities on Logos (Activist Build)
I took time to explain what Activist Build is to all the members present, how we want help support other communities from our communities and encourage members to apply using the provided link. Some questions asked during the explanation were answered and as well asked all members to feel to reach out incase there is need for clarit on any aspect of the page while filling the form online.
- Our upcoming activity for the month of October.
In my state,every last saturday of the month is declared sanitation day, which lasts from 7-10 am, mostly for everyone to clean their environment and surroundings, but we found a primary health care in a community (community name: Demsawo) where we could go and help carry out our own sanitation activity there to help the underemployed cleaning staff keep the primary health care clean and safe. We hope to print posters and fliers to help communicate the importance of cleanliness to our community. Health is wealth, as they say, but we believe a simple reorientation to help people continue to understand the value for clean environment is very paramount.
- Next steps
Engaging with the community Head (Known as Mai Anguwa) of the Demsawo community and community association so as to get everyone involved and engaged towards keeping a very clean, safe and healthy environment.

Closing Remarks
Our third meetup was really impactful as we were able to take the important step in bringing positive changes in our communities.
Good to see members still showing up, and the Demsawo idea is a smart one. Joining the state’s monthly sanitation day at a primary health care centre turns something everyone already does into a visible community win, and getting the Mai Anguwa involved is exactly the right first step.
