Touch Roots Africa

Menstrual Hygiene Day reminds us that periods are natural, and no girl or woman should feel ashamed because of them. Access to menstrual products, proper sanitation, education, and support is not a privilege - it is a basic right.

At Touch Roots Africa, we continue to advocate for dignity, confidence, and equal opportunities for every girl. By breaking the silence and ending stigma, we create safer spaces where young people can grow, learn, and thrive without limitations. 🩸✨

Touch Roots Africa conducted an advocacy meeting with Berea, Makola, and Cenez High Schools in Berea District, bringing together key stakeholders including the Berea District Education Office, the Learner Welfare and Care Unit of the Ministry of Education and Training, Mabote Filter Clinic, and Holy Family Clinic. The meeting focused on strengthening linkages between schools and health facilities to improve learner access to essential health services. Discussions emphasized the importance of referral forms and commemorating health days as practical ways to increase uptake of health and support services for learners. Through collaboration and shared solutions, stakeholders took meaningful steps toward building safer, healthier, and more supportive environments for learners and young people. Together, we are strengthening systems, empowering learners, and driving lasting change.
