Outreach Overview

On October 2, 2025 Project Growth Africa (PGA) an arm of Safe Space for Corporate Ladies initiative, founded by Dr. Vivian Ihejirika held the 2025 edition of PGA 2.0 tagged, Raising Heroes youth/school kids outreach at Government Junior Secondary Schools Asokoro and Kbepi in Abuja. Partnering with Gankco Energy, the campaign reached over 1,500 students with a mix of educational and welfare activities. The program’s goals were clear: distribute hygiene kits, deliver mental-health education, form peer-led “safe-space” clubs, and award scholarships to encourage academic excellence. Gankco’s involvement reflects its strong CSR commitment; as the company’s Head of social responsibility was fully part of the day’s outreach. Fifteen volunteers, including teachers and the school leadership, helped organize the event, ensuring each student was engaged and supported.

Hygiene Kits and Scholarships

Students at both schools received comprehensive hygiene kits containing soap, toothpaste, sanitary pads, and other essentials. The handouts were designed not only to promote health and dignity but also to keep girls in class; health experts note that menstrual hygiene programs with education can “improve health outcomes [and] reduce absenteeism in schools. By the end of the day PGA had distributed more than 1,500 kits in total. In parallel, twenty scholarships were awarded to outstanding students, a mix of tuition stipends and school supplies to reward achievement and motivate continued study. Organizers also announced the launch of new Safe Space Clubs at each school: student-run groups that will meet regularly to discuss well-being, leadership and goals, reinforcing the outreach’s lessons on self-care, mental wellbeing and educational excellence.

Mental Health and Safe Spaces

The outreach placed special emphasis on mental wellness. Certified counselors and psychologists gave interactive talks and activities on stress management, emotional intelligence and self-esteem. This focus is crucial in Nigeria: a UNICEF survey found that one in six young Nigerians often feels depressed or anxious. Speakers taught practical coping strategies, for example, mindfulness exercises and peer-support techniques, and urged students to seek help without stigma. As one mental-health advocacy article explains, education helps pupils “recognise these issues early, understand that it’s okay to seek help, and know where to find support. By creating weekly safe-space sessions, the schools aim to continue this support. Over time, these clubs will build skills like empathy and communication; experts agree that when students learn such skills they help create “a more supportive and harmonious school community”.

Impact and Community Feedback

The event also included friendly inter-class competitions, quizzes and recitals  in which students showcased teamwork and creativity. School leaders praised the outcome. One principal commented that the program gave students “a fresh perspective on hygiene and mental health” and inspired them to work harder, while a Parent Teacher Association representative thanked the partners for their generosity. Local media have taken notice: coverage of Raising Heroes 2.0 is slated for other news outlets, highlighting how a community-led initiative can make a real difference. Looking ahead, PGA and Gankco Energy plan to build on this success in future school campaigns, ensuring that today’s students grow into empowered, healthy leaders for tomorrow.
