We marked our 2023 International Women’s Day in Kwara State with participants of our MakeHER Space programme in the State. This was done to enable the girls have knowledge of all what it takes to be a responsible woman and good role models to their younger ones.
This event also doubled as the graduation ceremony for the participants who just completed their training which commenced in January this year.
