Actress, Monalisa Chinda just like her colleague, Stephanie Okereke-Linus has unveiled a laudable project aimed at improving the health of Nigerian women.
Recall that Stephanie’s Extended Hands Foundation has given free Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) repair surgeries to over 30 women in the country.
The Arise Monalisa Foundation, founded by the Nollywood actress has partnered with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control [NAFDAC] on a uterine fibroid. The unveiling was done on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at NAFDAC headquarters, Abuja.
‘It is in giving our lives away that we find meaning… We appreciate NAFDAC for this strategic partnership as we look forward to propagating awareness of this fast spreading yet widely neglected uterine fibroid, which has become very common among women due to ignorance and stigmatisation.’ Monalisa said.
In his response, Paul Orhii, Director General of NAFDAC, said: ‘We are proud to partner with the Arise Monalisa Foundation in mobilising this timely project throughout the 6 geo-political zones in Nigeria, and this also marks the flag-off of our projects for this year.’
