Every school should be a place where girls feel safe, respected, and supported. Yet in vulnerable communities, some schools have limited resources to help girls manage menstruation comfortably. Lack of menstrual materials, water, hygiene supplies, and open communication can leave girls facing challenges that affect their school experience.
F SSIBU Mission Foundation is committed to expanding Keep Her in School to more schools within the vulnerable communities we serve. Our work brings together practical resources and personal support so that girls are not left to face menstrual challenges alone.
We provide menstrual materials to girls who need them and support schools with water cans and handwashing detergents. These resources can strengthen everyday hygiene and help schools become more responsive to girls’ menstrual needs.
Our mentorship component is equally important. We create opportunities for girls to learn about menstruation, ask questions, develop confidence, and understand that their periods should not be a reason for shame. Mentorship can also help girls identify trusted adults they can approach when they experience challenges.
At the same time, we engage parents to encourage healthier communication about menstruation. By helping parents understand the impact of stigma and silence, we seek to create stronger support systems around girls both at school and at home.
With donor partnership, we can extend this work to additional schools and reach more girls experiencing menstrual poverty.
