Youth and gender empowerment initiatives transform Yagaba Kubori constituency

Empower Africa Alliance and Derby’s Foundation have made a significant impact in the Yagaba Kubori Constituency with their Community and Schools Engagement Tour.

The initiative, led by Christabel Derby, reached hundreds of schoolchildren and women across the constituency, providing critical support to the community.

The tour focused on education and gender empowerment, distributing 2,000 exercise books to students and 1,000 sanitary pads to girls and women. The distribution aimed to enhance learning resources for children while addressing menstrual hygiene, a key concern in the region.

Students were also educated on the importance of education, menstrual hygiene, and reproductive health to support their personal and academic growth.

The initiative received support from the Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Yussif, who is also the Member of Parliament for Yagaba Kubori. Yussif's advocacy for youth development and gender equality was crucial to the event’s success.

Beyond supporting education, the project also focused on women’s health, distributing sanitary pads to address long-standing challenges around menstrual hygiene. This effort helped break barriers and restore dignity to women in the community.

This initiative is part of ongoing efforts by the entities to uplift underserved communities, particularly in areas related to youth education and women’s health.
