From The Archewell Foundation website:https://archewell.com/news/providing-back-to-school-essentials-for-girls-in-nigeria/
As students around the world returned to school this month, The Archewell Foundation supported girls’ education and health by sending school supplies and menstrual products to young scholars in Nigeria with The GEANCO Foundation. Afam Onyema, CEO of GEANCO, joined the Archewell staff to help fill backpacks with supplies and menstrual products.
We were also excited to implement the second part of our recent partnership with the Archewell Foundation, who donated thousands of feminine hygiene products to girls & young women in Nigeria! Our GEANCO team distributed the products at special menstrual health workshops we organized at schools and health clinics throughout the country. This urgent work provided the girls with critically-important information about their bodies and will allow them to remain in school during their periods.
GEANCO provides critical health care and education services in Nigeria. Our David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship provides full tuition, medical care, and social and emotional support to young female victims of terrorism and gender inequality in Nigeria.
