She presented over one thousand  pieces of sanitary pads for these school girls.

Chief Executive Officer for CARE FOR ME AFRICA, Madam Ivy Nyarkoah Taylor after the program added that its time for all to come on board to educate our young ones, as during the period of menstruation, numerous girls get infected over the fact that they are ignorant on how to go around their menses.

She also advised parents to create the enabling environment to have their children feel free to talk to them during their menstrual period and should also provide them with sanitary pads and educate them on menstrual hygiene.

Some students also shown their heartfelt gratitude to Madam Safiatu Ibrahim for the opportunity to be educated on menstrual and personal hygiene and asked the protection of God on her.
