About 200 sanitary pads have been donated to the students of Government Day Junior Secondary School, Danialu, Ilorin, Kawara State by HEY SISSY
HEY SISSY is an initiative of Kwara State-born Taiye Adesewa Oyinloye who is the Lead Coach and Founder of the organization.
Adesewa who spoke through the Kwara State Coordinator of HEY SISSY Faith Motunrayo Oyegbola at the presentation ceremony said her community embarked on the project to support and promote menstrual health and hygiene among vulnerable girls and young women.
According to her “Through this initiative, we aim not only at providing physical support, but also empower and educate these girls on their reproductive health and well-being and also give them leadership training.”
The Founder currently a corps member in Abjuja, the Federal Capital Territory, explained that the presentation of the sanitary pads is not part of the usual community development project of NYSC but her way of contributing to the education of the girl child and promotion of monaural hygiene of girls and young women.
Adesewa said the community would continue to do its best for humanity, particularly the vulnerable.
Her words: “HEY SISSY is a personal development community where young women are empowered for excellence and global impact through effective coaching and mentorship.
“We help them become the best versions of themselves. Our vision at HEY SISSY is to raise well-refined and exceptional women who will defy all odds and limiting stereotypes ultimately impacting their various spheres of influence and humanity as a whole.
“Currently, we have over 200 young ladies who are being coached every week on various aspects of personal development through our online platform at no cost”
The Principal of the school, Hajia Yusuf Zainab Ayoka commended HEY SISSY for the donation of the sanitary pads.
Some students who received the sanitary pads also commended the Lead Coach and Founder of HEY SISSY Taiye Adesewa Oyinloye for her initiative stressing that other Nigerian youth should emulate her.
“I am happy that the founder of this organization is a youth and also a corps member. What she has done is good, and other Nigerians should emulate her “said Rashidat, a beneficiary of the sanitary pads.
Meanwhile, HEY SISSY will on Saturday donate more than 300 sanitary pads to Internally Displaced Persons Camp in Durumi, Abuja.
