Leadership Vision
I believe in a world where equality is the watchword on everyone's lips and I believe with kindness, thoughtfulness, diplomacy and team work, I will be at the forefront of bringing equality to their lips and heart.
Project Description
Keep a Girl Dry and Clean (KAGDAC) Project will teach 8-19 year- old girls in the Ibadan Community of Oyo State, Nigeria how to make their own reusable and biodegradable sanitary pads. We will employ several skill acquisition workshops. I will also involve their teachers and, possibly, their parents in the pad-making workshops so they can act as future demonstrators for their students and children respectively. These pads can be made using local, easily accessible and cheap materials such as Flannel, Cotton, Zorbs etc. With the proper materials and technique, these pads can be reused for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 3 years.
