The session was led by our Coordinator, AWLA Rukaiyat Cynthia Emmanuel, who provided an in-depth explanation of FGM. AWLA Abuja Program Coordinator, Toyin, addressed questions from the students, while AWLA Diki, the National Welfare Officer, discussed the significance of this observance.
As part of our support, we offered to cover the school fees for students who had not yet paid their fees. Additionally, we pledged to pay for the WAEC examination fees of selected top-performing students during our next visit.
We also made a financial contribution to the school’s administration and donated 50 copies of an Entrepreneurship book for secondary school students.
