Challenge

Imagine being a girl, eager to learn but forced to miss nearly half your school days because you can't afford sanitary pads. In Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya, this is the harsh reality for 48% of schoolgirls. Every month, they face a choice: their education or their dignity. Imagine the shame and the stigma these girls face every month. These girls aren't just missing classes: they're missing out on knowledge, friendships, and a shot at a brighter future - a barrier to their dreams.

Solution

HopeCore's interventions have shown a 35% reduction in absenteeism in schools where sanitary pads are provided. With your help, we can provide dignity kits to 3,705 needy girls across 195 schools within the next 6 months. Each kit contains 12 sanitary pads, enough to last a girl a whole year, and 2 pairs of underwear, providing essential hygiene support.

Long-Term Impact

Your contribution can reduce absenteeism by 60% and will directly impact girls' education by ensuring girls stay in school and pursue their education with confidence and dignity by ensuring they have the necessary supplies to manage their menstrual cycles.
