Goal 1: Improved Menstrual Health & Hygiene (MHH)

We’re working to ensure every girl in Kassanda District can manage her period with dignity—through access to reusable pads, accurate information, and safe school environments.

📊 The Challenge

  • 🚸 23% of girls drop out of school after starting their periods

  • 📉64% of girls regularly miss class due to lack of menstrual products & facilities.

  • 🗓️Evidence from 40 schools across Mityana and Kassanda shows girls lose about 2–5 days of school per month due to poor menstrual hygiene support—that’s 24–60 days a year. Monitor

💡 Our Approach

  • Local pad production & distribution

  • Age-appropriate menstrual health education

  • Male & community engagement

  • School-based MHH programs with hygiene kits + facilities

👉 Together, we’re breaking stigma and keeping girls in school.
