Tracy Solomon, the reigning Miss Heritage International 2023-2024, flagged off her advocacy project focusing on climate change, child education, and menstrual hygiene in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.

The beauty pageant, who is also the Executive Director of Improved Child Education in Africa, commenced the event at Government Junior Secondary School, Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja, to sensitize young children.

Solomon emphasized the importance of educating young girls about menstrual hygiene and the impact of climate change on their future.

She encouraged Nigerians to join her in advocating for these critical issues, stating that it’s not just a queen’s responsibility, but a collective duty as women.

“The project aims to reach out to schools across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones, promoting education, menstrual hygiene, and environmental conservation,” she noted.

Speaking to newsmen, Solomon said the initiative inspires future generations to prioritize these critical issues and become change-makers.

“We must keep our surroundings clean, and by that, I mean ensuring a girl’s access to quality education. Menstrual hygiene is also crucial, and we must impart this knowledge to the younger generation.

“As Miss Heritage International, our role goes beyond wearing a crown; we advocate for a better future. We inspire girls to become future leaders like Bola Tinubu and Ngozi Ukonjo-Iweala. We educate them on the importance of education, menstrual hygiene, and environmental conservation.

“This project, which began five years ago, is an ongoing process. We’ve reached out to the elderly in Mauritius and now aim to cover all six geopolitical zones in Nigeria.

“We will continue to emphasize child education, menstrual hygiene, and environmental conservation.”

In her remarks, Rebecca Alaku, Chief Education Officer of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), said that the provision of writing materials and sanitary pads would encourage young girls and increase child enrollment in FCT schools.

Similarly, the Vice Principal of Administration of the school, Felicia Gyaube, expressed gratitude to the philanthropist for considering the school in her Pet Project.

“We are thankful for your kindness and pray that your efforts will bear fruit. May God bless you for remembering us,” she added.

Ms. Gyaube encouraged parents to assume their responsibility of educating their girls on the proper use and maintenance of sanitary pads.

Building on her campaign’s success, Ms. Solomon engaged the students in insightful discussions on non-violence and conflict resolution, encouraging them to shun violence and embrace peaceful coexistence.

She distributed 3,000 exercise books, 500 sanitary pads, and other educational materials and planted economic trees in the school as part of her advocacy to address challenges of climate change in the country.
