The Amaku Cluster outreach was held at the Chapel of the Healing Cross, Amaku, and commenced around 1:00 PM. The event was organized with the support of 16 student volunteers who contributed to the success of the program.
The attendees were girls from Anglican and Catholic churches within the Amaku area. The participants who came were highly engaged and responsive throughout the event. The outreach lasted for about three hours and was structured to be both interactive and informative.
The program featured six (6) speakers, each addressing various topics related to menstrual health, hygiene, health conditions related to period, past experience and personal development. The session was lively and fun, with opportunities for the girls to ask questions and participate in discussions. A special question-and-answer segment added excitement, with the hanging pads given to those who answered correctly.
In terms of material support, a total of 52 individual sanitary pads (from 2 cartons or 4 packs) were made available for distribution. These were shared among the girls present. Additionally, 27 rolls of hanging pads were distributed as prizes during the interactive session. Refreshments was provided for the girls, Gala and drink. After the event, 22 unused sanitary pads (leftover from a previous outstation) were returned and documented.
Overall, the outreach was a rewarding and impactful experience for both the volunteers and the participants.
