She said; ‘‘Purity Foundation was inaugurated in 2013 with the purpose of establishing a culture of purity and enduring s3xual integrity in young children and teenagers.
‘‘In today’s highly s3xualized world, it is imperative that we educate our young children and wards on the importance of sexual abstinence and purity in their spirit, soul and body.’’
Speaking further, Mrs Ojile said that the vision of the Purity Foundation is to make children and youth know that they are born of a King (God our Heavenly Father), to make them see themselves as modern day princes and princess’ and most of all to celebrate each of them as they transit from their teenage years to adulthood.
‘‘Our vision is to instill in them a true sense of purpose, values and strength.
Self-worth, self-esteem and above all God’s grace to stay in Purity which is the inner beauty.’’ She added.
