Lamisi launches foundation, menstrual hygiene initiative
Ghanaian musician Lamisi launched her foundation at the Alliance Franciase on September 14, 2024. The Lamisi Fata Foundation aims to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene education and the distribution of reusable and disposable sanitary pads for girls particularly in northern Ghana.
The programme dubbed ‘Concert for Change’, was laced with performances of authentic African music inspired by her Northern influence.
Lamisi thrilled the Crowd with an energetic performance along with her neo-traditional quartet band. The audience could not sit still but joined in singing and clapping every song performed.
As a prelude to the concert Lamisi hosted a conference dubbed ‘Pad it Forward: Sustainable Solution for Menstrual Hygiene.’ This impactful event featured engaging panel discussions, Q&A sessions, exhibitions and demonstrations of reusable sanitary Pads.
The conference drew participants from the French Embassy, Amnesty Ghana, women’s groups, students from second-cycle institutions and university students.
