Education should be your priority at this stage- Mrs. Emefa Quarshie Agbana to students

Founder of the Universal Childcare Foundation, Mrs. Emefa Quashie Agbana, has advised students in the Ketu North Municipality to stay focused on their education and avoid teenage pregnancy as they pursue their academic goals.

She gave the advice during activities marking World Menstrual Hygiene Day, where the foundation donated sanitary pads to schools within the municipality.

Addressing the students during the donation exercise, Mrs. Agbana encouraged young girls to take good care of themselves and remain disciplined throughout their educational journey.

 You would have the chance to marry as many as you want after the university, so take care of yourselves and focus on your education. "Once you start menstruating it means you can get pregnant hence you need to be careful not to cut your dreams short", she stated, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing education and personal development before entering relationships that could negatively affect their future.

She also highlighted the need to break the stigma surrounding menstruation and ensure that girls have access to sanitary products to manage their menstrual hygiene with dignity and confidence.

According to her, no girl should miss school because of a lack of sanitary pads or proper menstrual health education.

The donation formed part of the Universal Childcare Foundation’s commitment to promoting menstrual health awareness and supporting the wellbeing of young girls in schools across Ketu North.
