The Youth Community Transformation Agency (YCTA) brought smiles to many women in the city by giving out mother-baby kits and cooking gas cylinders.
The event which took place at the Federal Capital Territory, had women gathered with their children to receive these helpful items. This effort shows YCTA’s dedication to supporting mothers and families who need a little extra help.The mother-baby kits are packed with useful items like diapers, baby wipes, creams, blankets, and nutritional supplements. These supplies help new mothers care for their babies without worrying about the high costs of these essentials.
The cooking gas cylinders are a big help too, making it easier and safer for families to cook meals at home. Many women said these gifts will make their daily lives much easier.“This is more than just supplies, it’s about giving women a chance to feel supported,” said Aisha Rahman, YCTA’s Program Director. “We want to help mothers focus on their families and their futures without struggling for basic needs.” The event was filled with happy faces as women thanked YCTA for thinking of them during tough times.
For many families, buying things like baby supplies or cooking gas can be hard because prices keep going up. Some women have had to use firewood or other unsafe ways to cook, which can be harmful. The gas cylinders from YCTA mean safer cooking and more time for mothers to work or spend with their children. One mother, Maryam Idris, said, “This kit and gas cylinder will help me take care of my baby and cook without stress. I’m so grateful.”
YCTA plans to keep helping more women through their “Women Rise” campaign. They’ve already supported over 500 families and hope to reach even more in rural areas soon.
