Project Makeover: Empowering Graduates Through Confidence
Ajonay PRIDE Organization proudly celebrated another successful community service initiative through #ProjectMakeover, providing FREE hair and makeup services along with professional photo portraits to graduating students from selected public high schools in Maasin City.
One of the highlights of this initiative took place at Manhilo National High School, where graduating students were given the opportunity to feel confident, seen, and celebrated during a milestone moment in their academic journey. The joy and excitement reflected in their portraits affirmed the true purpose of the project—boosting self-esteem and creating lasting memories.
We also recently concluded the second year of #ProjectMakeover at Maasin City National High School, extending the same services to senior high school graduates. The continuation of this project reflects Ajonay PRIDE’s dedication to sustaining meaningful programs that uplift young people and support inclusive community development.
