NIFA LUNCHEON

Nifa Reads Program.
Having children read books regularly is an excellent way to enhance their reading skills and boost their speech confidence. When kids read, they are exposed to new vocabulary, sentence structure, and ideas, which help to expand their understanding of language. This exposure gradually improves their reading fluency and comprehension, making it easier for them to tackle more complex text over time.
Reading aloud, in particular, plays a role in building speech confidence. As children practice reading out loud, they become more comfortable with the sound of words and the rhythm of sentence. This practice helps them to develop
clearer articulation and more expressive speech, which are essential skill for effective communication. Additionally, reading aloud encourages kids to engage with the material on deeper level, enhancing their ability to understand and
retain information.
As children gain proficiency in reading, they feel a sense of achievement that further boosts their confidence. This positive reinforcement encourages them to read more, creating a virtuous cycle of improvement. In this way, regular reading not only strengthens a child’s reading ability but also builds the confidence needed to express themselves clearly ands effectively in both academic and social settings.

The participants of the event were able to involve the community in the exercise, which showed them what they could achieve when they came together to make their environment clean. The event was impactful as it helped to raise awareness about the importance of keeping the environment clean and educated young people on the need to be responsible for their surroundings.

Feminine Napkin Distribution
Feminine Napkin are an important menstrual product for women living in informal settlements, as they provide a hygienic and safe way to manage menstrual flow. In many underdeveloped areas, access to sanitary towels can be limited due to financial constraints or a lack of availability. As a result, various organizations and projects have been launched to provide affordable and accessible sanitary towels to women living in informal settlements. These initiatives often involve partnerships with local communities and organizations to distribute and promote the use of sanitary towels. The provision of sanitary towels in informal settlements can help to improve menstrual hygiene, reduce health risks, and support women’s overall well-being.
