Leadership Training

Mentorship sessions that build public speaking, confidence, and peer support networks.

Menstrual Health Workshops

Practical education on hygiene, dignity, and access to safe, reusable products.

Community Advocacy

Girls and youth leaders engage parents, teachers, and local leaders to end stigma.

The Crisis: Why Your Support Matters

Across Sub-Saharan Africa, it is estimated that 1 in 10 girls miss school during their periods, which can account for up to 20% of a given school year. In East Africa, the challenges are equally steep, with studies showing that approximately 31% of menstruating students report missing school days due to a lack of resources and high levels of stigma.
