PADS for Girls: Empowering Young Women Through Education and Entrepreneurship

PADS for Girls is committed to creating a brighter future for young women by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed. We believe that every girl deserves access to quality education and opportunities to pursue her dreams.

On August 27, 2023, PADS for Girls hosted a successful “Concert for a Cause” fundraiser to support our ongoing efforts and expand our reach to girls in rural communities. The event raised funds for the following initiatives:

Academic Tuition Scholarships: To help girls continue their education and achieve their academic goals.
Small Business Start-Up Loans: To empower girls to become entrepreneurs and create sustainable livelihoods.
Sanitary Product Distribution: To ensure that girls have access to essential hygiene products and can stay in school during their menstrual cycles.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we were able to award one-year academic tuition scholarships to three deserving young women and provide a small business loan to an aspiring entrepreneur.

We are grateful for the community’s support and look forward to continuing our mission of empowering girls and building a more equitable future for all.

 

A Smile Goes A Long Way

Lovetta Y. Qualah is the founder and CEO of Positive Actions Driving Safety (PADS), which addresses period poverty by providing free sanitary products to women and girls in Monrovia, Liberia. She found a kindred heart in Namrata Oruganti ’24, biology. As a summer conference assistant, Oruganti helped code keys, fold towels, organize sheets, and prepare comforters for the fellows. “I was blessed to be at that desk,” says Oruganti. The first night, the YALI group organized a party for a fellow who had arrived on his birthday.
