Puberty Packs for Girls Launch | Seychelles News

A bold new initiative is empowering young girls across the nation with puberty education and support, starting with 49 S1 girls at English River Secondary School—soon to scale to 600 packs nationwide. Led by the First Lady, Ministry of Education, and WOSITA Foundation, this program breaks silence around puberty, offering accurate info and safe spaces for discussion. The First Lady shared her own journey, urging parents to start talks early—even as young as age 8—and calling on boys and men to embrace responsibility. With alarming stats—169 teen births last year alone, including a 10-year-old mother—the push targets STIs and unplanned pregnancies. Key to its success: student ambassadors in schools, expanding to Primary 6 girls and reaching all Seychelles islands. This isn’t just supplies—it’s a movement to transform how puberty is talked about, taught, and supported. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
