ICONIC STEPS OF AMBASSADOR BRIDGET DAKYES IN WOMEN HEALTH AND ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT

she presently works on women and communities affected by violent conflict which has characterized the state for some years leaving many women devastated in inability to cater for their basic needs.

 She uses her NGO at ensuring that the women are empowered to be self reliant in caring for themselves and their children. The multiplying effects of her project in training women on how to produce reusable sanitary pads has been awesome and impactful as the production helps to; promote and enhance their hygiene, generate sales of the product to get money for themselves and their children,  involve and train their fellow women in the production, packaging and branding of the product. 

 Her organisation takes on the burden to look out for the women, empowers and mentors them on the various ways to improve their self worth and self reliance. Speaking about her activities, she affirmed that it is gratifying to see the women producing, packaging, branding, growing in the business and involving other women.
