Organized by the Young Adventist Women Ministries, the event aimed to uphold moral integrity rooted in Christian and cultural values.

The event included undisclosed financial support for the girls and served as a reminder of traditional practices like Bragoro and Dipo rites, which were historically significant in preserving virginity and curbing teenage pregnancies.
