Hope Spring, a Herefordshire based clean water charity, has announced the invitation of their menstrual hygiene lead, Bolu Olorunfemi, to join the Usave foundation fellowship programme.
The fellowship programme is designed to develop the next generation of WASH leaders in Nigeria. It will train twenty people, who are already making a difference in the WASH sector, equipping them with resources to become more effective WASH and climate change advocates.
Hope Spring founder and trustee, Temi Odurinde said “we are delighted that Bolu was invited to participate in the Usave foundation fellowship programme. I am certain she would impart almost as much knowledge as she would gain from the fellowship”.
Bolu was successful in her application for a place on the fellowship, out of over five hundred applicants. The six month programme is a mixture of online training and face-to-face tutor lead training in Abuja, Nigeria.
Ms Olorunfemi has volunteered with Hope Spring on and off for more than four years. She is currently their director of their menstrual hygiene projects and the architect of their reusable sanitary pads project. She has also contributed significantly to the charity’s corporate charity christmas eCard fundraise, as well as their water sanitation and hygiene podcast WASH talk.
Hope Spring trustee, Mr Odurinde, added “Bolu has been an invaluable member of our team, donating her time and creativity. We hope she will continue to volunteer with Hope Spring on completion of her Usave fellowship programme”.
