The Gnosis Help Initiative is a drive against the increasing rates of Divorces, Separations and Domestic violence, it helps victims of toxic marriages and abusive spouses, and through various programs, exposes mistakes often made in spousal choices, and provides alternatives to hardships in Relationships.

The 6th anniversary of the conference, according to Chichi Ogbonnaya, the Convener of TWC is in line with the vision of the Conference, which is to propel young people into living a chaste, focused, and purposeful life.

Our goal for this year’s event is to give participants a new perspective to love and sex while helping them understand what lies between these two words.

The concepts of love and sex have been abused and misused and there is the need to reinform and educate young people; especially ladies, on the principles guiding these two and help them better set healthy boundaries in their relationships to avoid pitfalls that result from not understanding these concepts.

TWC is an annual event organised by the JOIN Value Initiative and targeted towards females between 15-35 years of age, with the aim of inspiring these young women to live a chaste, focused, and purposeful life.

JOIN Value is a Non-Governmental Organisation that seeks to impact the lives of youths positively through various target-oriented programmes such as TWC and other programmes that are organised monthly, quarterly, and annually.
