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

With our emphasis on free sanitary products for school girls, we're simply saying one thing: sanitary products shouldn't have to be luxury for school girls regardless of socio-economic status!

🌍 International Youth Day 2025 🌱
“Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond”.

We celebrate the energy, courage, and limitless potential of young people across the world.
You are the dreamers and leaders working towards achieving the SDGs.

You are the heartbeat of tomorrow, breathing new life into our communities and shaping a future filled with hope and purpose.

This year reminds us that the strength of youth is not just in age, but in vision, resilience, and action.
May you continue to dare, speak up, stand tall for what’s right, and never underestimate the power you carry within.

The world needs your voice, your ideas, and your light. Let's keep serving!

Advocacy efforts on menstrual health and donation of free sanitary pads is not only meant to happen on Menstrual Hygiene Day, which is yearly. It is a progressive movement that requires all hands on deck; daily, weekly and monthly.

As we continue to shine light on this important topic, we strengthen our communities and the girls inhabiting them.

Menstrual Health Education is at the centre of our advocacy efforts, as we desire to see a world where no girl will be left behind because they menstruate.

Menstruation should not limit access to education, health and opportunity.

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

Educating a girl is an investment in her future, it is a foundation for a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate world.

From Michelle Obama's words, "When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous."

This week, cheers to the advocates of girl child education!

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!

Building up to Menstrual Hygiene Day; where we're reminded to work for a , we reminisce on every community we've taken our menstrual health education to, every rural school girl we've shared knowledge with, and every teenage girl we've empowered against period poverty.

Together, we will continue to raise our voices against period stigmatisation and taboos.

Menstruation should not limit access to education, health, or opportunity!

Today's girls become tomorrow's women.

Kindly support girls' education, so they can be empowered to lead.

Happy International Women's Day!
