As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting orphans and vulnerable children, the Professor Charles Effiong Foundation incorporated hygiene support into its routine home visits in April 2026.
During these visits, essential hygiene items—including bathing soap and sanitary pads—were distributed to children. This approach allowed the Foundation to reach families directly within their homes, ensuring that support is both personal and impactful.
Special attention was given to menstrual hygiene management, ensuring that adolescent girls have the resources and knowledge needed to manage their health with confidence.
In addition, the team provided practical guidance on personal and environmental hygiene, including proper handwashing, body care, and maintaining a clean living space. These interactions help reinforce positive habits that contribute to the overall wellbeing of the children.
At the Professor Charles Effiong Foundation, there is a strong belief that every child deserves to grow up in a healthy and supportive environment. Through initiatives like this, the Foundation continues to bring care, education, and essential support directly to the homes of those who need it most.
