October 2026: Ikorodu and Apapa, Lagos
In October 2026, GLY Empowerment celebrated the International Day of the Girl with Oriwu Junior Model College in Ikorodu and Mavir Leaders College in Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria.
Our team worked with 630 girls in total: 380 at Oriwu Junior Model College and 250 at Mavir Leaders College. Together we covered menstrual health, personal boundaries, and affirmations, and we gave out sanitary pads.
This program was made possible by the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteer team.
This is what your support makes possible.
Menstrual Health Lesson
We taught the girls about menstrual health so they understand their bodies and know what to expect each month.
Lesson on Boundaries
We talked about what personal boundaries are, how to set them, and how to respect the boundaries of others.
Affirmations
Girls spoke up and said affirmations together, a reminder that their voice is their power.
Sanitary Pads Given Out
Our volunteers gave out sanitary pads so girls can manage their periods with confidence.
Celebrating the Day of the Girl
Girls celebrated together, proudly holding up their pads and handouts.
Our Team with the Girls
Our volunteer team with students from Mavir Leaders College.
Your donation funds our next workshop. Every gift, no matter the size, puts resources, knowledge, and community in the hands of girls who need it most.
