I was raised in a poor environment where no one cared for the girl. I grew up seeing young girls being sexually abused, with many of them turning to drug and substance abuse and prostitution in exchange for money. Having become a mature woman, the Lord laid it in my heart to reach out to younger girls and give them mentorship from wherever they were. I also wanted to support them with sanitary towels to ensure none of them struggled during menstruation. I joined United Africa for Children and this dream has come to pass. I have got opportunities to have health and mentorship talks with more than 300 girls and mobilized sanitary towels which were later disbursed to them. Many teen mothers have decided to continue with their studies while others have adopted to learn technical skills in order to earn a living due to their engagement in this program.
