FFTP (Guy) Inc. is pleased to collaborate with our community partner, as we believe it will provide support and relief to women and girls.”
The CEO further explained that FFTP (Guy) Inc. has been advocating for the organization’s strategy to empower others, rather than solely providing relief. She also explained that these kinds of donations empower women and girls by prioritizing their personal care and hygiene.
