A non-governmental organisation working to uplift the lives of those with disabilities and victims of societal and economic inequalities- El Echad Foundation, has launched a campaign to sensitise schoolgirls on menstrual hygiene and safety.
The group, which visited Kabusa Community Secondary School, located in a surbuban community of Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, also distributed reusable menstrual pads to more than 200 students of the school.
The group said the project was supported by Massey College, a graduate college at the University of Toronto in Canada, and the Rotary Club of Toronto Bay-Bloor. The initiative, it said, is aimed at tackling the issue of menstrual hygiene and promoting gender equality in Nigeria.
