Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Many schools are built, furniture fixed and a lot of money spent in school fees, clothing, and books without any plan for the monthly menstruation period of the girl child that when mismanaged causes absenteeism, failure, force her miss exams and leave school!!! Besides, many school set ups are not friendly to the girl child education.Imagine having to miss classes for 3 -7 days every month and the resultant implications!! 300 girls will be empowered to better manage sexual reproductive issues.

Activities
