As the world marks World Menstrual Hygiene Day, 2025, an NGO, ‘Caleb Danladi Foundation’ (CDF), has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to supporting girl-child education, particularly by addressing the challenges faced by young girls in rural and underserved communities.
The founder, Caleb Danladi Bako, said CDF recognized that menstrual health and hygiene is not just a health issue, “it is a matter of dignity, equality, and access to education.”
The foundation, in a statement at weekend noted that, “Many girls in rural areas continue to miss school due to a lack of access to sanitary products, stigma, and poor menstrual hygiene awareness.
“To bridge this gap, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Terraverde Care Pads by Allgreen Ivy. Through this collaboration, we will support girls in rural areas by providing access to sustainable, eco-friendly sanitary pads, while also promoting awareness on menstrual hygiene management.
“This initiative is a step towards ensuring that no girl is left behind due to a natural biological process. It is about empowering young girls to attend school confidently, stay healthy, and pursue their dreams without interruption,” he stated.
The foundation assured that, “Together, we can create an environment where every girl has the tools, knowledge, and support to succeed.”
CDF had, over the years, supported less-privilege children, widows and youths in pursuits of their education and in skills acquisition training and heath support, among several other initiatives.
