Many girls in the Niger Delta miss school each month due to lack of safe and private menstrual supplies. Disposable pads are costly and not available in many rural markets. This project will provide 988 girls with reusable menstrual cups, hygiene kits, and menstrual health education. Each cup lasts up to 10 years, helping girls stay in school and manage their health with dignity and safety.
Girls in poor rural areas of the Niger Delta miss school due to lack of menstrual supplies. Disposable pads are expensive and hard to find, forcing many girls to use cloth or tissue, leading to infections and shame. This creates long-term gaps in education, especially among girls from low-income families. Without safe and lasting options, monthly periods become a barrier to schooling.
Reusable menstrual cups last up to 10 years and need no frequent replacement. This project will give 988 girls a menstrual cup, hygiene training, and a storage pouch. Local female health workers will teach them how to use and clean the cup safely. By removing the monthly cost of pads, girls can focus on school without fear, discomfort, or shame caused by lack of supplies.
The menstrual cups will help girls attend school regularly and manage their periods safely for years. Over time, fewer girls will drop out due to period-related issues. The project will also start community conversations around menstrual health, reduce waste from disposable pads, and improve self-care knowledge among rural girls. One cup can change a girl's school path and her future.
