I had the privilege of joining The Empowered Girls Advocacy (TEGA) in commemorating International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2025 in the Western Rural Area. The event was focused on educating young girls about menstrual hygiene, debunking harmful myths, and promoting dignity and self-care.

It was especially inspiring to witness Miss Bonthe, Lucinda Bendu, lead impactful sessions that empowered the girls to speak openly and confidently about their menstrual health. The day featured an interactive panel discussion with the presence of a dedicated teacher, highlighting the important role schools and educators play in guiding and supporting girls through their menstrual journeys.

From distributing educational resources to engaging sessions on hygiene and nutrition, every part of the outreach created a safe space for learning, dialogue, and empowerment.

A heartfelt thanks to TEGA and their incredible volunteers whose passion and dedication made a lasting impact. Menstrual health should never be a taboo, and as boys and men, we have a responsibility to support, listen, and stand in solidarity. Together, we can break the stigma and foster a more informed and inclusive society.

Give a Little, Help a Lot!

We Officially Launch the CTLaD Shoe Campaign 2025!

Last year, with your incredible support, we set out to provide 500 schoolchildren with shoes, and we surpassed that goal, reaching over 600 children and their teachers!

This year, we’re stepping up our impact! Our 2025 goal is to provide 1,000 school-going children across 10 villages in Northern and Southwestern Sierra Leone with comfortable shoes.

Every pair makes a difference. Every step inspires confidence. Join us by donating, contributing shoes, or spreading the word.

Together, let’s ensure no child walks to school barefoot!

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

As one chapter of service in student unionism closes, another begins, three consecutive academic years dedicated to advancing student-led innovation and strengthening the Information, Communication, and Technology landscape of the Milton Margai Technical University Student Union.

Lord, I am grateful.

The welfare of students and the youth of Sierra Leone remains my unwavering priority.

Breaking Barriers in Menstrual Health!

As the Coordinator for all Centre for Transformational Leadership and Development CTLAD mentoring clubs in Sierra Leone, I had the privilege of joining our powerful collaboration with Lionette in tackling period poverty and promoting sustainable menstrual health.

On February 8, 2025, we engaged the Mothaim Community, where Mrs. Mimi Nonie, Founder & CEO of Lionette, led an insightful session on menstrual cup use and maintenance. Together, we distributed 124 menstrual cups to mentees and their mothers ensuring they have a safer, more eco-friendly, and cost-effective way to manage their periods.

At CTLaD, we remain committed to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) advocacy. I was there to reaffirm our dedication to empowering young girls and women through education, resources, and sustainable solutions.

Menstrual health is a right, not a privilege! Let’s continue creating lasting change, breaking taboos, and empowering the next generation.

Last year (2024), our goal was to support 500 beneficiaries, but we exceeded expectations by providing shoes to over 600 school-going pupils across 7 villages in northern Sierra Leone.
