Health and Well-being Project

Our First community outreach launched 2nd September, 2023

Location: Janibanibu Community of Taraba State

Target Audience: Children and Women (765 beneficiaries)

Tools: Health Education and Demonstration

Activities carried out: Health Education on menstrual and personal hygiene, distribution of items (menstrual pads, underwears, tooth brushes, tooth paste, detergents and soaps).

Empowerment

A journey of community empowerment took us to Federal Government Girls College Jalingo Taraba State

475 students were engaged in an enlightening session on menstruation.

The girls were encouraged to embrace it as a natural biological process rather than viewing it as societal taboo, helping them build confidence and break the stigma often associated with it in our communities. Mentrual pads were distributed to all the students that participated.

Environment and sustainability

Behind As part of our Environment and sustainability project, we implemented an initiative tagged “Keep Jalingo free from flood”.

The project focused on raising awareness across the streets of Jalingo, Taraba State, on the importance of proper environmental sanitation and waste disposal.

We engaged residents on how indiscriminate dumping of refuse contributes to flooding and environmental degredation. We also advocated for the provision of industrial waste bins to ensure effective and sustainable waste management.

The Initiative recorded remarkable impact, inspiring community members to take ownership of their environment and adopt practices that contribute to a cleaner. healthier and flood free Jalingo.
