Upholding its commitment to holistic community development, the Mizizi Foundation hosted an impactful outreach event at Kagira Primary School, focusing on empowering teenage girls and addressing a critical need for feminine hygiene.
The foundation, living out its motto “From Roots to Fruits,” understands that a solid foundation (Roots) is essential for future success (Fruits). The event centered on open, supportive talks with the young girls, covering crucial topics like personal health, self-esteem, and navigating adolescence. The sessions were designed to build confidence and ensure the girls are equipped with the knowledge they need to thrive.
The practical component of the outreach was the distribution of essential sanitary towels. Access to these necessary supplies is often a major barrier to education, leading many girls to miss school during their menstrual cycles. By providing this basic dignity, Mizizi Foundation is helping to secure the girls’ continued attendance and academic progress.
The staff and girls at Kagira Primary School expressed immense gratitude for the foundation’s thoughtfulness. This initiative demonstrates the transformative power of sowing seeds of support—the roots of awareness and essential provisions—to ensure the girls can grow into confident, educated young women, bearing the fruits of their full potential. The Mizizi Foundation is proud to partner with schools like Kagira to nurture the next generation.
