Menstrual Hygiene Management refers to access to clean menstrual products, privacy to change them safely, and proper education about menstruation. It includes understanding menstruation, breaking stigma, and ensuring girls and women can manage their periods with dignity and without shame.
Lack of education about menstruation leads to misinformation, shame, and poor hygiene practices. This can result in infections, school absenteeism, and low self-esteem. Educating communities improves health outcomes and gender equality.
We provide menstrual education workshops in schools and communities, distribute menstrual products (reusable menstrual kits, menstrual cups etc), and advocate for policy change to support menstrual equity.
Our programs primarily benefit adolescent girls and women in underserved communities. However, we also engage boys, teachers, and parents to foster inclusive, stigma-free conversations about menstruation.
No. While our focus is on supporting menstruators, we believe boys, men, and all community members must be part of the conversation to challenge taboos and create supportive environments.
We rely on board members donations, donations from the public, sales of reusable menstrual kits, grants, corporate partnerships, and volunteer support. Every contribution helps us expand our reach and impacts more communities.
You can support us by donating (sewing equipment, cash, or menstrual materials), volunteering, partnering as a sponsor, or spreading awareness.
Yes. Reusable products like cloth pads and menstrual cups are safe when used and cleaned properly. They are also cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Our NGO operates across the 16 regions in Ghana, with a focus on rural and low-income communities that have limited access to menstrual education and resources.
