The initiative, according to Keystone Bank, was part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) “Let’s Talk Period” project to further provide an enabling environment by improving the well-being, health, lifestyle, and studies of young girls in the communities wherein it operates.

 

The 2024 International Day of the Girl Child celebration is themed ‘Girls’ Vision for the Future,’ and conveys both the urgency of action and the hope driven by the power of girls’ voices and their vision for a better tomorrow.

 

As part of the initiative, 3,800 sanitary pads were distributed to young girls, promoting menstrual hygiene awareness and supporting their well-being.

 

The event was attended by notable dignitaries, including Her Excellency Mrs. Priscilla Chidinma Otti, wife of the Governor of Abia State; Mrs. Adaeze Emetu, wife of the Deputy Governor; Dr. Mrs. Maureen Ijeoma Agbukwa, Commissioner for Women Affairs; Mrs. Blessing Ngozi Felix, Commissioner for Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection; Mrs. Ogechi Oguama, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Women Affairs; Mrs. Chinwe Kanu Ubah, Special Adviser to the Governor on Women Mobilization; and Mr. Kene Nwosu, Special Adviser to the Governor on Education.

 

Speaking at the event, Mrs. Otti emphasised the importance of period hygiene and urged the girls to embrace the strength and potential they possess. She encouraged them to look toward a bright future, filled with opportunities for growth and success.
