Yagazie Foundation has successfully carried out its first project for the 2024 calendar year by distributing 994 Cartons of Kotex Deodorized Panty Liners to 90 screened Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Nigeria, where 30 of them are operating in the south, and 60 of the NGOs are operating in the northern part of Nigeria.
