Through workshops, mentorship sessions, and team-building exercises, participants develop essential life skills, build confidence, and form lasting friendships. This initiative aims to nurture well-rounded individuals prepared to take on future challenges and contribute positively to society.

Pad a Girl Campaign

Promoting Menstrual Health and Education

Sapphital, in partnership with Kebbi State First Lady and iDreams , leads the Pad a Girl Campaign, a vital initiative addressing menstrual health and hygiene for young girls in Nigeria. By providing sanitary pads and educational resources, we aim to break the stigma surrounding menstruation and ensure that girls can attend school without interruption.
