Key Areas Covered
• Basic understanding of cervical cancer and its causes
• Risk factors and warning signs
• Prevention strategies
• Importance of regular screening and early detection
• Addressing myths and misconceptions surrounding cervical cancer
Donation of Sanitary Pads
As part of the outreach, 312 sanitary pads were donated to the female students to support proper menstrual hygiene. This initiative was aimed at helping girls stay confident, healthy, and consistent in their academic activities without interruption during their menstrual cycle.
Healfield Foundation believes that no girl should miss school because of lack of menstrual hygiene support, and we remain committed to supporting young women with the resources they need to thrive.
The session emphasized the importance of early detection, healthy lifestyle choices, and access to accurate health information, especially among young girls who may not have regular access to reproductive health education.
Our Commitment
At Healfield Foundation, we continue to work towards our mission of Care, Compassion, and Empowerment by providing health education, support programs, and community outreach that positively impact lives.
We appreciate the cooperation of the school authorities, teachers, and students of Three Town Senior High School for making this program a success.
