Standing Ovation for International Woman of The Day

As culled from Modern Ghana, according to Kenneth! Today is International Women's Day .As a youth activist I have taken it upon myself to celebrate young African women who are making impact in their communities and countries. Today I celebrate a change maker, entrepreneur and a mentor of thousands of young leaders in Africa. Her name is Adepeju Jaiyeoba from Nigeria.

Adepeju Jaiyeoba is a skilled community advocate with experience in women’s right and maternal and child health in Nigeria. She is the founder of Mothers’ Delivery Kit, a company that manufactures and distributes birth kits for purchase.
