Menstrual Health Project
The 2Ns Achoribo Foundation supported a menstrual health program organized by Valley View University Hospital following a request for assistance by the Health Promotion Officer of the public health department (Kafui Lawson) in providing sanitary pads for students. The foundation donated 6 boxes of sanitary pads and participated in the event.
The program aimed to educate students on menstrual hygiene, break stigmas surrounding menstruation, and promote confidence among young girls. Health professionals gave talks on proper menstrual care and pad usage, after which the donated pads were distributed to participants.
The foundation’s presence was greatly appreciated and contributed to the success of the event.
The 2Ns Achoribo Foundation remains committed to promoting girl-child health and empowerment through such impactful initiatives.
Project at Ayenya Basic School
Following the foundation’s launch, the 2Ns Achoribo Foundation, in partnership with the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) on March 14, 2025, conducted a project at Ayenya Basic School to facilitate the renewal, new registration, and replacement of insurance cards for both the children and community members. Recognizing that financial constraints make accessing the NHIS office challenging for many of these children, and with a commitment to promoting public health, this initiative was deemed essential.
During the event, 2Ns Achoribo delivered tailored health talks: we discussed the menstrual cycle with the girls and covered personal hygiene topics with the boys. Additionally, 107 girls received sanitary pads along with guidance on their proper use and disposal to prevent infections, while 143 boys were provided with deodorants.
A total of 218 children were enrolled in the NHIS during the project, and the school was further supplied with two boxes of sanitary pads for future use. The event was graced by a representative of the Director of Education from Shai Osudoku District, teachers, school heads, a team from NHIS, media representatives, community members, and my team, making it a resounding success.
Launching Ceremony
The 2Ns Achoribo Foundation was officially launched at Saduase Basic School on October 25, 2024. It was a remarkable success, attended by the chief and his entourage, the assemblyman, school heads, teachers, and other invited guests who came to grace the occasion.
As part of the event, insightful talks on personal hygiene were delivered to both boys and girls, emphasizing its importance in their daily lives. Additionally, educational support was provided, with 500 students receiving books and other learning materials. To further promote menstrual health, sanitary pads were distributed to 300 girls in the school.
