AUDITORIUM EVENT 28 May 2022

Empowering Adolescents: Mental and Reproductive Health

In partnership with key stakeholders, we hosted a landmark event at the Federal University Lokoja Auditorium (Adankolo Campus). This initiative brought together secondary school students, educators, and youth advocates to commemorate Children's Day and World Menstrual Hygiene Day.

The program created a safe, inclusive space for critical conversations around mental well-being and reproductive health; topics often left undiscussed in Nigerian school communities. By situating this dialogue within an academic environment, we reinforced that health education is not a taboo but a cornerstone of empowerment.
