Speciallady awareness has undertaken its yearly outreach program to inspire, educate and raise awareness for women on reproductive health issues and combat menstrual poverty.
From September 27, to September 30, the NGO carried out outreach projects, educating women on reproductive health and donating sanitary products, hygiene products, drinks and toiletries.
They also donated provisions to over a thousand students and women in the Asuogyaman Atimpoku District of the Eastern Region.
On day one of the tour, the team paid a courtesy call on Nana Afrakomah II, the Paramount queen mother of Akwamu and her elders.
She expressed her gratitude to the organisation's initiatives in her community and encouraged them to continue to make a significant impact with girl child education and women reproductive health awareness.
Also, students at Akwamufie Presby JHS and Adjena SHS were educated on gynaecological conditions and menstrual hygiene.
On day two of the tour, the NGO visited Abuakwa JHS and Apegusu SHS to educate the students on gynaecological conditions and menstrual hygiene. Sanitary products and essentials were also donated.
Also, the Paramount Chief of Akwamuman, Odeneho Kwafo Akoto III, welcomed and hosted the team during their charity tour in Asuogyaman Atimpoku District.
The non-profit organisation believes with extensive education, support, outreach programs and research on these conditions, there will be an improvement in menstrual poverty and awareness of gynaecological disorders.
During the outreach projects, the founder of Speciallady Awareness, Elizabeth Amoaa, highlighted the importance of seeking early diagnosis and appropriate treatment and preventing further medical complications and unnecessary surgeries.
Speciallady awareness is a Woman Reproductive Health Advocacy, NGO, that creates awareness about women reproductive health conditions and the empowerment of the girl child established by Elizabeth Amoaa after she experienced a long health journey which ended up with multiple surgeries and complications.
She decided to challenge, inspire, and encourage women to seek early diagnosis and appropriate treatment by raising awareness of women's reproductive health issues and combating menstrual poverty.
"Although many agencies have been raising awareness on women's reproductive health issues and supporting women and young girls, it seems inadequate," Elizabeth Amoaa said.
Speciallady awareness periodically carries out outreach projects in educational establishments and communities in Ghana.
They have donated sanitary products, educational materials and medical supplies worth thousands of pounds to communities in Ghana.
