A 300-level Public Health student of McPherson University, Fathia Afolabi, has continued to make meaningful impact through her humanitarian initiatives, moving from sponsoring WAEC fees for students to donating sanitary pads to over 300 girls in a neighboring community.

Through the Afolabi Fathia Foundation, she organised a Pad a Girl Outreach at Ajebo High School, where hundreds of school girls received sanitary pads alongside valuable health education aimed at empowering and protecting the girl child.

The outreach featured insightful sessions from guest speakers, Ms. Aremo Oluwabunmi and Ms. Olajumoke Ogunleye, who spoke extensively on Teen Pregnancy Awareness, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), hormonal imbalance, and menstrual hygiene management. The sessions created an atmosphere of openness and learning, encouraging the students to ask questions and gain proper understanding about their health and wellbeing.

Speaking during the outreach, the founder and organiser, Fathia Afolabi, charged the students on the importance of becoming ambassadors for the girl child and embracing informed, responsible living.

According to her, “Too many young girls grow up confused about their bodies with no safe space to ask questions or learn the truth. This initiative creates that safe space through education, guidance, and honest conversations that help girls make informed choices and protect their future.”

The outreach further reflects the culture of impact-driven learning at McPherson University, where students are continually encouraged to combine academic knowledge with community service. Through initiatives like this, the University continues to raise socially responsible leaders committed to transforming lives and contributing meaningfully to society.
