Menstrual Health Program

Adolescent girls receive menstrual products and age-appropriate health education, helping them manage their periods safely and with dignity.

By addressing period poverty, the program works to prevent avoidable school absence and protect every girl’s right to education.

When a woman gains a practical skill, or a girl can attend school without fear, the benefits travel through an entire family.

These two programs address different stages of life but share one purpose: greater agency, security and opportunity for women and girls.

Support women and girls
