Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>To commemorate this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day, Mount Kigali University donated personal hygiene products to FAWE Girls\u2019 School in Gisozi, Kigali.<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s Dean of Students, Dr Joyce Kirabo, led faculty members and students in presenting the personal hygiene products to the school.<\/p>\n

Kirabo emphasised the need for society to support initiatives that promote gender equality and education for girls.<\/p>\n

During an interactive session, she urged young girls to remain vigilant as threats to their well-being persist.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany obstacles stand in your path to success, even as young as you are. That is why you need to be careful about how you conduct yourselves. The consequences of wrong choices can destroy your future dreams,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

FAWE Head Girl, Marie Ange Tuyishimire, on behalf of the other learners, appreciated Mount Kigali University\u2019s thoughtful gesture.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThe knowledge imparted to us today holds immense value for us. We extend our deepest gratitude to Mount Kigali University for considering our needs. Rest assured that we are committed to applying in our daily lives the lessons we have learned today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s initiative aims to guarantee the girls access to basic menstrual hygiene supplies. The girls can continue with their studies uninterrupted, Kirabo explained.<\/p>\n

Tuyishimire said the insights and experiences shared by the university\u2019s delegation were valuable and will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of the girls.<\/p>\n

Mount Kigali University delegation joined teachers and students from FAWE Girls\u2019 School to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n

The delegation had interactive sessions with the girls. The talks focused on how to address menstrual health concerns. Specifically, the university\u2019s representatives offered valuable tips on how the girls can effectively manage their menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n

Kirabo noted that the donation of sanitary pads to FAWE Girls\u2019 School reflects Mount Kigali University\u2019s commitment to community development and the advancement of girls’ and women\u2019s welfare. This commitment is further exemplified through the university\u2019s enduring partnership with the Imbuto Foundation, aimed at promoting girl child education in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

Through the \u201cEdified Generation\u201d scholarship programme, Mount Kigali University and the Imbuto Foundation collaborate to empower young girls by providing access to education. The two institutions are focused on the value of education in fostering gender equality and societal progress, said Kirabo.<\/p>\n
