Kids & Teens Resource Centre (K&TRC) has received a ₦1,000,000 support from Royalty Business and Travels Consult (RBTC) to promote menstrual health and hygiene among adolescent girls in Nigeria.

The Alarming Reality: Menstrual Hygiene in Nigeria

– 1 in 5 girls miss school during their menstrual period due to lack of access to sanitary products and facilities¹

– 60% of adolescent girls have poor menstrual hygiene practices, leading to health risks and social stigma²

– 24% of school days are missed by girls due to menstruation, affecting their education and future prospects³

– 70% of girls use unhygienic materials during menstruation, increasing the risk of infections and health complications⁴

A Step Towards Change

RBTC’s support will enable K&TRC to procure sanitary pads for distribution through Padbanks in secondary schools in Nasarawa State, reaching girls in underserved communities. This initiative is part of the UNESCO O3 Project, addressing the pressing needs of in-school adolescent girls.

The Impact of RBTC’s Donation

With this donation, we can:

– Provide sanitary pads to 5,000 girls, ensuring they can manage their menstruation with dignity

– Reduce absenteeism and improve academic performance among adolescent girls

– Promote menstrual health and hygiene practices, reducing health risks and social stigma

Partnership for Impact

K&TRC appreciates this impactful partnership with RBTC, which will improve the health, education, and well-being of adolescent girls not only in Nasarawa State but across Nigeria. RBTC’s commitment to driving social impact through innovative solutions and community-focused CSR initiatives is truly commendable.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

By supporting adolescent girls in managing their menstrual health, we can help them stay in school and achieve their full potential. We are grateful for RBTC’s support and look forward to continuing our work in promoting menstrual health and hygiene.

Empowering Young Minds: Breaking the Cycle of Child Labor

At Kidsnteensngo, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for children in Cocoa-growing communities to access quality education and break the cycle of child labor. Through our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees we are working to create a sustainable impact that will benefit these communities for years to come. Our holistic remediation approach focuses on: 1. Education: Providing essential school kits to children, enabling them to attend school regularly and pursue their passions because we believe that children should work on dreams and not in farms. 2. Economic Empowerment: Establishing Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to empower local economies and improve the livelihoods of farmers and parents. This will ensure that parents are able to sustain the education of their children thus allowing the children to learn instead of working to earn to support their parents. 3. Community Development: Engaging local businesses to provide school uniforms, injecting more resources into the community and promoting economic growth. 4. Livelihood support for Farmers: Provision of farm tools and Income Generating Activities (IGA) to boost income and ensure improvements in the standard of living Our partnership with SUCDEN Groupe Sucres & Denrees is making a tangible difference in the lives of
