The Pentecost University SRC Women’s Commission, in collaboration with the Women’s Ministry National Directorate of The Church of Pentecost, has intensified efforts to raise awareness of menstrual hygiene among female students. This forms part of preparations for an empowerment programme scheduled to take place on campus on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Ahead of the event, the Women’s Ministry has donated sanitary pads and toiletries to support students, ensuring that their immediate needs are met alongside the broader campaign for education and awareness.
The donation ceremony, held at Pentecost University, was attended by senior leaders including Deaconess Philomina Mireku, Director of the Women’s Ministry; Deaconess Vivian Amfo, Deputy Director; Pastor Jacob Asare, Dean of Students; Rev. Dr Patrick Adonoo, Campus Pastor; and Rev. Arthur Norman, Coordinator of Mentorship and Student Development. Also present were SRC Women’s Commissioner, Blessing Owusuaa, and her team, who received the items with gratitude.
The SRC Women’s Commission expressed appreciation to the Women’s Ministry and stakeholders whose contributions made the initiative possible, noting that the gesture demonstrates a strong commitment to student welfare and holistic development.
In her remarks, Deaconess Mireku underscored the importance of menstrual hygiene education, stressing the need to break the silence and stigma surrounding the subject. She urged female students to embrace confidence, practise proper hygiene, and support one another in fostering a culture of openness and care.
The empowerment programme is set for Sunday at the J. M. Auditorium of Pentecost University. It will bring together students and ministry leaders for a time of learning, encouragement, and empowerment. Organisers say the event reflects the mission of the Women’s Ministry, which seeks to uplift women and address issues affecting their well-being through faith-driven initiatives and community support.
Organisers remain optimistic that the upcoming programme will equip students with the knowledge and resources needed to manage their menstrual health effectively. Students have been encouraged to attend in large numbers and invite peers to benefit from what promises to be an impactful session.
