PROBLEMS

* High maternal mortality alongside abysmal levels of social and economic empowerment among Nigerian youths is a major underpinning of under-development in Nigeria.

OUR MANDATE
To Build potentials and provide qualitative care for women and young people.

OUR VISION
To become a Foremost Nigerian Youth and Women Development-Support Organization of International Repute.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT
To Identify, Protect and Develop The Potentials Of Nigerian Women and Youths from the outlook of World-Class Health and Economic Development.

INTRODUCTION

Pre-Adult Affairs Organization (PAAO) is a registered Non-Governmental Organization founded on the 18th of September 1999 by Chief Sandra. C. Duru. This was informed by the burning desire and dream for a positive change in the present deplorable status of women and youths in Nigeria and the world at large.

Since her teenage years, Chief Sandra Chidinma Duru, the Founder and Executive Director of this Organization has been passionately involved with, and committed to positively contributing to the improvement of the health of the Nigerian women and economic empowerment of the Nigerian youths.

BRIEF HISTORY

On 16th August 1997, Sandra Chidinma Duru, an ex-student of Eva Adelaja Girls Secondary Grammar School initiated a programme called “SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION” (SSSNEA). The association organized seminars, conferences and established debate and reading clubs in schools. Prizes were voluntarily donated by the association to support and enhance the competitions organized by SSSNEA.

This association with time metamorphosed into “SANCHHY DE YOUTHS ORGANISATION”. The organization actively engaged in informing, enlightening and educating the less privileged youths particularly in Lagos and Imo State.

Related issues of personal hygiene, puberty, self-management, growth, adolescent challenges, and consequences of teenage pregnancy, abortion, HIV-AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases were major focus of the organization. Lectures on career choice were also organized to equip the youths for future challenges.

However within a short period of her involvement in this laudable programme, she discovered the limited access of an average Nigerian to qualitative information. The organization then set out to gather and disseminate relevant information geared towards improving the quality of life of the Nigerian woman and youth.

In view of this, the Pre-Adult Affairs Organization (PAAO) was established. The Organization is committed to identify, harness and develop the potentials of the Nigerian woman and youth through systematic collation of their potentials.
Pre-Adult Affairs Organization (PAAO) intends to carry out her vision through the following programmes. For administrative purpose, the programmes have been summed into 6 major areas.

Speaking at the occasion, the Founder/Executive Director of PAAO, Chief. Sandra Duru, explained that the donations stems from her undying love to always reach out and lend a helping hand to disadvantaged persons.
She added that the aim of donating the bus was to convey inmates to the courts. "For instance, on their dates at the court, we gathered there is usually no bus to convey them. That is one reason we are making the bus donation. It is also in this light that we have given free legal services to some to aid their process of return to the society."

Distribution Of Free Note Books
The Pre-Adult Affairs Commission will be sharing its notebooks and biros to selected less-privileged students who have attained excellent academic performance in selected Secondary Schools from the 36 States of the Federation. Below is a preview of the front cover of the notebook.
