Our Flower Girls and Teenage Mothers Foundation, an NGO founded by UK based Nigerian gospel singer, Oby Ezeigbo, last week continued her campaign to pad the girl child in some secondary schools in Imo State.
The Program Manager of the NGO, Engineer Chize Amadi who led the intervention program last week both in Port Harcourt and Imo State told Umuaka Times that the need for the program was necessary because most of the girls due to lack of funds had no access to sanitary pads and as a result, they usually made use of rags, tissue papers and other clothing materials during this dangerous periods of their lives. According to the engineer, the act of using materials outside of sanitary pads, is capable of leading to infections. He thanked the founder of the NGO, Oby Ezeigbo and all the field workers who carried out the program with him for their selfless service to pad the girl child.
The engineer also described the program as a huge success because of the positive responses the school authorities and the female students gave the NGO during the outreach.
Secondary schools in Amandugba, Ekwe and Umuaka benefited from the program while some other schools in Port Harcourt Rivers State also benefited.
