On March 20th and 21st, 2025, the Asake Empowerment Foundation, a leading NGO in Nigeria, brought transformative change to young lives in Ilorin, Kwara State. Our team visited Palmer’s Green School, The Levites Model School, and Life Changers Group of Schools along Niger Road in Ilorin East LGA, empowering over 150 (including boys and girls) students with essential hygiene kits and life-changing knowledge on personal hygiene.
This impactful initiative aligns with our mission to foster healthier, more confident communities across Kwara State and Nigeria. By equipping school children with the tools and education to maintain good hygiene, we’re building a foundation for a brighter, healthier future. Here’s how we made a difference:
Highlights of the Hygiene Empowerment Initiative:
- Personal Hygiene Awareness Sessions: Our team conducted impactful talks highlighting the importance of cleanliness in preventing diseases such as cholera and diarrhea—pressing health concerns in Nigeria.
