AlasaPills continues its mission of reaching communities across Nigeria with the “Pad a Girl Child Project” and its Public Health Awareness Program, this time at Olokoro Girls’ Secondary School, Umuahia South, Abia State.
Our team engaged the students in practical conversations on menstrual hygiene, self-care, and basic public health practices. We discussed how to manage periods with dignity, debunked common myths, and encouraged the girls to speak up about their health needs without shame or fear.
As part of the outreach, we distributed sanitary pads and emphasized that no girl should miss school or lose confidence because of her period. We also highlighted the role of teachers, parents and the community in supporting young girls through adolescence with empathy and accurate information.
This outreach is one step in a much bigger journey as AlasaPills continues to reach more schools, more communities, and more girls ensuring that menstrual health and public health education are accessible to all.
