Senator Sharafadeen Alli will empower 5,000 girls with education and hygiene resources as part of his sponsorship of the second season of the ‘Flow with Dignity School Tour.’
The federal lawmaker representing Oyo South Senatorial District stated this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas, on Sunday.
The ‘Flow with Dignity School Tour’ is an initiative by the Women for Greater Good Foundation, in celebration of the 2024 International Day of the Girl Child.
The expanded programme focuses on crucial areas such as menstrual hygiene and sex education, providing young girls with the tools to navigate adolescence with confidence and dignity.
“Senator Alli’s sponsorship reflected his strong commitment to the well-being and development of young girls in the district, reinforcing his dedication to improving the quality of life and future prospects for the youth.
“Through his support, the lawmaker is fostering a more inclusive and empowering environment for girls to ensure they are equipped for a brighter future,” it was stated in the statement.
A key highlight of the 2024 edition of the International Day of the Girl Child will be the distribution of menstrual materials and educational handbooks.
These resources were aimed at supporting girls’ health and educational success and reducing the barriers that often prevent them from attending school during their menstrual cycles.
Meanwhile, the impactful initiative builds upon the success of last year’s event, which reached 800 girls across Oyo South Senatorial District, it was further disclosed in the statement.
