Through our Keep Her in School Program, we are introducing a sustainable initiative to produce reusable menstrual pads for girls who face challenges accessing adequate menstrual hygiene products. This initiative will help us reach more girls with durable, affordable, and environmentally friendly menstrual protection while making better use of available resources.
Many girls in underserved communities miss school during their menstrual periods because disposable sanitary pads are often too expensive or unavailable. By supporting the production and distribution of reusable pads, we can provide girls with a reliable solution that can be used repeatedly and maintained with proper hygiene.
The initiative will also create opportunities for girls and women to gain practical skills in sewing, pad production, hygiene management, and small-scale enterprise development. Where possible, we will involve community members in the production process, helping to strengthen local ownership and create additional livelihood opportunities.
For the Keep Her in School Program, this is more than providing menstrual products. It is about protecting girls' dignity, improving school attendance, building confidence, and reducing the financial burden on vulnerable families.
With donor support, we aim to provide reusable menstrual pad kits to more girls, conduct menstrual health and hygiene education, and ensure beneficiaries understand proper use, washing, drying, and safe storage.
Every reusable pad can serve a girl for an extended period, allowing one investment to create lasting impact. By minimizing recurring costs and reducing dependence on disposable products, this initiative will help us reach more girls sustainably.
Together, we can help girls stay in school, participate confidently, and continue pursuing their dreams without menstruation becoming a barrier to their education.
