Millennium Fellowship Project: Pad A Girl
Pad a Girl is a community-driven initiative focused on addressing period poverty by providing menstrual hygiene kits and educating teenage girls in underserved areas. Through this project, we aim to promote menstrual health awareness, reduce stigma around menstruation, and empower young girls with the knowledge and resources they need to manage their periods with dignity. Our activities include interactive workshops on menstrual hygiene and the distribution of sanitary pads to beneficiaries, with aspirations to expand our reach to more communities across Nigeria.
