Menopausal Community Support Initiative (MCSI)
Menopausal Community Support Initiative (MCSI) is a non-governmental support organization. Our aim is to bridge the gap between menopause and ignorance. Having carefully observed the demographic, we understand that quite a number of women within our area of interest struggle with living their best life during menopausal stages of life. With a basic focus on women in Nigeria and in extention to West African communities, the initiative seeks to enlighten and support women through the stages of menopause. This focus is strictly followed with implementation of projects that requires a great deal of careful planning, communication and team involvement.
Our objectives as a support group includes:
-
To educate and sensitise ladies and women going through the various transitional stages of menopause and to provide health and material support to them..
-
To serve as an interest group to address matters of concern to the less privilege and thereby making a positive impact among women in the community.
-
To increase welfare services to widows, elderly people and under privilege in the community.
Dear Beautiful Woman,
I choose to call you beautiful because that is what you are indeed. The role you play in nation building cannot be overemphasized. In addition, the things we deal with as women are multifaceted and the ability to deal with these issues and still give that beautiful smile that radiates, is a testament to the strength of a woman.
Knowledge, they say, is power. This is true in its entirety as over the years, there has been quite a lot of misconceptions about the concept of MENOPAUSE. These misconceptions which are as a result of ignorance has affected a lot of women and has led to issues like broken marriages, self-destructive tendencies, depression and even death in some cases. Sadly, women pay the ultimate price for the ignorance associated with some people who do not understand how to deal with this natural phenomenon called MENOPAUSE.
It is important to note that as a woman it is natural to go through the phases ofPERI- MENOPAUSE, MENOPAUSE and POST-MENOPAUSE which some individuals regard as a transitional phase of womanhood. This natural phases come with different challenges that if not handled in line with professionally outlined best practices will make the entire period more of a hell-like experience for the woman.
Hence, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Menopausal Community Support Initiative, a community of beautiful women with one goal - living through menopause with smiles.
Our target is to ensure that every woman out there is educated and supported through this transitional phases of womanhood to live their best life.
Join us, partner with us, support us and let us impact lives.
Thank you.
Barr. Irene Bello (Mrs), Director, Menopausal Community Support Initiative
