INTERNATIONAL MENSTRUAL HYGIENE DAY!!!

In commemoration of the International Menstrual Hygiene Day, Community Women's Rights Foundation in collaboration with His Marvelous Grace Foundation raised awareness on menstrual hygiene and sensitized 100 secondary girls today.
The need for proper menstrual hygiene cannot be overemphasized. Parents are enjoined to provide adequate information to their teenage girls about proper hygiene before, during and after their menstrual cycles. The girls were also taught ways of improvising in situations where they cannot afford sanitary towels.
They all went home with sanitary pads.

We are using this medium to appreciate our donors who invested towards the success of today's program. We sincerely appreciate you and also look forward to your continuous unwavering support.

Thank you and God bless.
