The Need
Many girls miss up to 20% of the school year because they lack access to sanitary products, eventually falling so far behind that they drop out entirely.
What We Provide
Distribution of reusable sanitary pads, menstrual health education, and the dismantling of harmful stigmas surrounding menstruation.
Who It Supports
Schoolgirls across partner primary and secondary schools.
How It Works
Our team visits schools to deliver health workshops to both girls and boys, distributing sanitary kits that last up to a year.
Program Outcomes
- Reduced school absenteeism
- Improved bodily autonomy and knowledge
- Destigmatization of menstruation in communities

I used to stay home and miss exams because I had nothing to use. With my reusable kit, I don't have to feel ashamed or miss class anymore.
