OVER 100 COUNTRIES CELEBRATE WORLD BOOK DAY’S 26TH ANNIVERSARY    as organised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to promote books and reading. As always, children are encouraged to dress up in a costume as their favourite book character. Children in one of the private schools in the UK were invited to dress as an adjective ‘World Book Day’ to depict their chosen word and definition.
The child as seen in the picture dressed up as a Black Panther to depict the adjective ‘INTREDIP’. He believes in the importance of facing ones’ fears fearlessly. Most importantly, he believes the power to face ones’ fears lie in acquiring knowledge which can be acquired by reading.
Tardio urges parents to read with their children for at least 30 – 45minutes a day to encourage them in learning the steps for knowledge acquisition.

  The hallmark of every charity Organisation is love, empathy and consciousness of the application of these two hallmarks.

   On this day, a lot of good willed people joined TARDIO on her soft launch for a wider coverage. Charity is all about the drive to keep pushing for the need of the helpless to be met and the voice of the voiceless to be heard. Herein, TARDIO emerged to push for the consciousness of the importance of Education – Basic Education. There’s a burning need to keep the light of Education shining because, Education brings enlightenment or at least births the hunger for enlightenment which in turn births an enlightened society.

  During the launch, TARDIO narrowed down her objectives by outlining the activities that are the determinants of these objectives.

  Those who were not able to attend the launch sent their good wishes. This soft launch yielded over £500 which will positively catalyse the shipping of school and learning materials.

TARDIO is preparing to organise a fundraising event themed ‘Bag to School, Bag to Class’ by September 2024.

Tardio’s first Launch/Fundraising event, November 25, 2023.

Over the years, the Sub Saharan Africa has remained the region with the highest rates of education exclusion.

Education , one of the key instruments to reduce poverty and lay the foundations for sustained economic growth is a fundamental human right and is crucial for the development of individuals and societies.

Despite the success in nursery and primary school enrolment, inequalities and inefficiencies remain in this critical sector.
A large number of our children do not attain basic education due to poverty. While some hawk on the streets, some study under under unfavorable conditions.
Tardio, spurred by the increasing down-slope in this critical sector aims to provide for the less privileged children the required school and learning materials.
And with the statistics of 7 out of 10 countries facing an acute shortage of teachers, Tardio also aims to advocate for teachers remuneration and performance training as well as working in partnership with the appropriate bodies to renovate and recondition the children’s learning environment.
Join Tardigrade International Organisation today to make a significant change in our society (Africa)!

World Book Day

tardio1Leave a comment

Today marks the 25th anniversary of World Book Day as children celebrates in over 100 countries, around the globe. World Book Day celebrates the importance and value of books and reading with this year’s theme as ‘YOU ARE A READER’. Children at school are encouraged to engage in reading in a fun way and to make it a part of their everyday habit.

In the UK for instance, children were asked to dress up in costumed of their favourite book character and you can see the excitement in their eyes as they ran to meet up with their mates whilst being dropped off. They shared with one another what book costume they were wearing. Then it occurred to me that in some parts of the globe, world book day isn’t being celebrated, not because they do not want to participate but because most are unaware of it, or some children are not opportune to participate in the celebrations as they are unable to be in school at this time due to a long string of issues ranging from poverty through to inadequate school infrastructures or absence of schools within their communities. These reasons amongst others are why Tardio has taken on the reins to do its own part to see that basic education is available to every child by making an impact in little communities to big cities

A Balancing Act

Happy New year everyone. Hope 2021 has been a great start for you all!

The year 2020 was a very difficult one, for most it was a proper squeeze as loads of families had to carry out drastic cuts to the already very dire situation they were in. Hence in the build up to the Christmas holidays, the idea of being able to afford Christmas presents for their children was not even to be discussed. However, at Tardio we felt children should partake of the joy of Christmas no matter how small, we feel that Christmas creates special memories and we wanted the children we could reach to have a beautiful memory in a year which was so tough all the way through. We therefore came up with a project tagged Xmas Gift-Away which was aimed at sharing presents and put smiles on the little faces of children who perhaps may never have received a Christmas present.

We reached out to these children with gift packs which were presented to them and also gave school uniforms as presents to some children who we had previously identified as needing some for school as prior they had to attend school in own clothes.

We were encouraged by the fact that we were able to do a little to bring some joy to these children at the end of such an unprecedented year.

The smiles, joy and happiness we brought to the little faces sent tears streaming down our faces.
