PridePads Ngaoundere

My name is Jaika Kongnyuy and I am the PridePads Operations Manager in Ngaoundere, Cameroon. I was born in 1961 at Kumbo Bui Division in the NW Region. My parents were both Muslims and I grew up as a Muslim before marrying a Catholic and converting to Christianity. As a Muslim girl in those days I was very fortunate because I was able to go to school. My parents pushed aside all odds from their Muslim brothers who only sent their girls to early marriages as per their faith. And for this reason, I will never stop thanking God Almighty for my very dear parents. 

After my high school studies l was able to attend the school of sports and physical education teaching and graduated in 1987. I taught in several schools and in 2014 l was appointed the Sub Divisional Delegate for Sports and Physical Education for Jakiri SubDivision, a post l held until I retired in 2018. I went to Divisional, Regional, and National finals with female players and I have a host of medals that were won.

Mboke Souare Brigitteis married with four children. She conpleted her High school and had Advance level in law. She is from the Extreme North of Cameroon. She grew up in a family of six: 4 girls and 2  boys. Her father was very okay with theeducation of the girls, he did not want early marriages. These days some parents still feel that menstrual education is a taboo and some think that it's immoral to their religion so girls are not yet using pads but old pieces of clothes. But thanks to PridePads we are doing a lot to remedy the situation.

May God bless all the PridePads Africa staff.
