Welcoming October as we look forward to celebrating the girl child💃🥳 🎉

When you educate a girl, you empower a generation. Let’s break barriers and build futures because every girl deserves the right to learn.

In 2018, together with our team of volunteers, we launched a Menstrual Health Education Campaign tagged 'Pad For Girls Project', for underserved school girls in rural communities and inner cities.

We were propelled by one girl's story; the story of an underprivileged school girl, who among other economic and social challenges she experienced, was met with the sad reality of period poverty, which led to other negative consequences on her education. It was a story that broke us, and sparked something in us. A story that made us understand that we can make a difference with our "little".

Today, that singular decision to make a difference has taken us to over 15 communities, reaching well over 6,500 school girls.

As we celebrate World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we are excited that Menstrual Health Education is getting more votes, and efforts on Menstrual Hygiene and Awareness Campaigns are intensified.

We are pleased that more stakeholders are signing up and we're poised that soon, we will beat period poverty.

Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day!
