Millennium Fellowship Project: THEIR PATH
The project is an initiative aimed at combating period poverty, lowering the rate of teenage pregnancies, promoting girls empowerment and providing conditions that promote quality education. We hope to carry out various activities such as having sanitary towel drives as donating such important items will help keep girls comfortably in school even during their cycle. We also aim at holding talks and lectures on sexual health to empower the society and mostly young girls on issues regarding the crucial topic. We also hope to work with the community at grassroot level ro create good sustainable solutions to the problems they continue to face in relation to period poverty and education access.
