Talia Women's Network places menstrual health and hygiene at the centre of our dignity, empowerment and well-being initiatives for women and girls. Strenthened private sector partnerships have become critical in enabling us to scale this work, reach underserved communities and provide sustainable solutions that go beyond one-off donations.
Partnerships with corporates greatly improved the availability of quality menstrual products during community outreaches and school programs. In line with our theme "Keeping the Girls in School", we collaborated with Stanbic Bank and CBZ Holdings and were able to distribute dignity kits to 1,570 women and girls in schools and underserved communities - helping remove barriers linked to stigma, poverty and poor hygiene practices.
Both Stanbic Bank and CBZ Holdings supported Talia's menstrual health education sessions during school and community engagements. Their invovlement amplified awareness around menstrual hygiene, helped normalise conversations about menstruation and positioned corporate partners as champions of women's wellness and dignity. Having the staff from the two companies at the sessions enhanced the reach and credibility of our campaigns.
Strengthened partnerships with private sector - exemplified by the impactful collaborations with Stanbic Bank and CBZ Holdings - significantly enhanced our menstrual health and hygiene interventions. These collaborations provided resources, visibility and community-level support that enables women and girls to manage menstruation with dignity. As Talia continues to expand it reach, private sector partnerships remain a vital pillar for sustainable, scalable and transformative menstrual health programming.
