The support was in collaboration with the Good Causes Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility wing of the NLA.
The Deputy CEO, for her part, used the exercise to educate the girls on the importance of maintaining menstrual hygiene; how to use sanitary pads, how to comport themselves during their periods and also how to dispose of the pads after use among others.
