Standing under the shade of the old mango tree at Asikasu Odumase Methodist Basic School, Mr. Oppong Kwaku adjusted his glasses and smiled warmly at the crowd gathered before him. It was the closing session of another impactful event organized by the Daakye Nti Onua Do Neye Foundation, and as a teacher who had witnessed the foundation’s work firsthand, he was filled with gratitude and admiration.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, his voice steady but passionate, “what this foundation is doing for our young girls is nothing short of transformative. For years, we’ve seen many of our brightest students struggle quietly with issues that are rarely talked about—menstrual health, self-confidence, and a lack of essential resources. These challenges have held them back, not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well.”
He paused, letting his words sink in. The parents, teachers, and students in the audience nodded in agreement.
“But today, I can proudly say that the Daakye Nti Onua Do Neye Foundation is changing that narrative. Through their tireless efforts, they are not just providing sanitary pads and hygiene kits; they are giving our girls dignity, knowledge, and the confidence to own their futures.”
Mr. Oppong gestured toward the group of girls who had participated in the day’s activities, their faces glowing with excitement and pride. “Look at them,” he said, his tone softening. “These are the leaders, doctors, teachers, and innovators of tomorrow. And thanks to the foundation, they now understand that menstruation is not a barrier—it’s a natural part of life that should never stop them from achieving their dreams.”
He shared a story about one of his students, Akosua, who used to miss school every month during her period. “She was ashamed and didn’t have the right resources. But after one of the foundation’s workshops, she told me, ‘Sir, I now feel confident to come to school every day, no matter what.’ That is the power of what Daakye Nti Onua Do Neye is doing.”
Mr. Oppong ended his remarks with a heartfelt plea: “To the foundation, I say, continue this incredible work. You are planting seeds of hope and empowerment in our community, and the harvest will be generations of strong, educated women who will uplift not just Asikasu Odumase, but the entire nation. We thank you, and we stand with you.”
The crowd erupted into applause, and the girls beamed with pride. It was clear that Mr. Oppong’s words had captured the essence of the foundation’s mission and inspired everyone present to support their cause. 🌟
