Millennium Fellowship Project: The Girl Thrive Project
The Girl Thrive Project is an awareness and empowerment program that centers on Menstrual Health, Mental health and Career awareness. It targets female secondary school students in Kwara state between the age of 13 and 19. These are young girls who are just beginning to navigate puberty, identity, confidence, and their early dreams yet many of them do so with limited information and very little guidance.
We serve them because we believe that girls deserve more than silence around their bodies, more than shame around menstruation, and more than fear around their futures. We want them to feel seen, heard, and equipped to thrive in their body, mind, and future.
Key metrics for accomplishment 1. Created awareness about menstrual health and Career awareness.
2. Encourage a more open engagement on menstrual and reproductive health.
About the Millennium Fellow
Agboola okikijesu is a young and intelligent undergraduate at the University of ilorin. I was born in Nigeria, and resides in Ibadan, currently studying Educational Management at the University of ilorin.
I have always been passionate about young girls like myself and those younger than me.
During my secondary school, I had the opportunity of ladies coming to my school to address us on career talk and helping them to think globally and not to limit ourselves as a female child.
So, this serves as a drive that make me want to reach out those younger than I am, find their path early.
Thank you.
