Event Highlights:

• Menstrual Health Education: Sessions facilitated by health professionals educated attendees on menstrual hygiene management, debunked myths, and promoted self-care.

•Empowerment Talks: Women leaders and mentors encouraged young girls to embrace their identity, remain confident during menstruation, and advocate for their health rights.

• Community Engagement: The outreach brought together local stakeholders, volunteers, and advocates who shared a mission to eliminate period poverty and promote equality.

Speaking at the event, Chidimma Makuachukwu, founder of the Novalie Foundation, emphasised:

“Menstruation is not a shame; it is strength. Today, we affirm that no girl should ever have to miss school, feel unworthy, or suffer in silence because of her period.”

This outreach is part of Novalie Foundation’s broader goal to create a safer, informed, and empowered future for girls and women across Nigeria. By tackling menstrual stigma and providing basic menstrual products, the foundation champions the right of every girl to manage her period with dignity.
