Zenith Bank's "Pad Queen" Initiative Addresses Menstrual Hygiene Challenges in Nigerian Schools

Zenith Bank has introduced the "Pad Queen" initiative to tackle the issue of menstrual hygiene among Nigerian schoolgirls. The program focuses on providing menstrual hygiene education, distributing sanitary pads, and building confidence to dispel myths and taboos surrounding menstruation.

It aims to empower girls across ten secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria, reaching 5,000 students through educational sessions, pad distribution, and training for counselors and teachers. Zenith Bank's commitment to supporting this initiative reflects its corporate social responsibility efforts to promote gender equality and education for sustainable development.
