Mensuration in my country



One of the major challenges of the Nigerian girl-child is Mensuration and it's hygiene, growing I had difficult with taking care of myself because of the economic situation of things my parents weren't buoyant enough to provide all my needs and one of the overlooked needs was sanitary pads, there were days I had to use my skirt, pieces of mattress or tissue papers which were very uncomfortable now that i have graduated from Nursing school and 27years old, I decided to make a change and help young girls have access to sanitary pads, we have started making the impacts and our NGO is registered with the Nigerian Cooperate Affairs Commission, so far we have reached out to 600 girls in 3 different states... What I lack mostly is mentorship, I wish I can get someone to mentor me.
