For many girls living in vulnerable communities, returning to school for the third term comes with challenges that extend beyond school fees and books. Access to menstrual hygiene supplies can determine whether a girl attends class confidently or stays home during her period.
This term, F SSIBU Mission Foundation is working to provide sanitary support to girls who may otherwise struggle to afford essential menstrual hygiene products. Our aim is to protect their dignity, support consistent school attendance, and help girls remain engaged in their education without unnecessary barriers.
Menstruation should never become a reason for a girl to miss lessons, fall behind academically, or feel ashamed. Yet for families already struggling to afford food, school requirements, and other necessities, sanitary products can become an additional burden.
Our sanitary support is therefore part of a broader commitment to Keep Her in School. Alongside distribution, we promote menstrual health awareness and encourage girls to understand their bodies, care for themselves safely, and seek appropriate support when needed.
Donors make this work possible. Their generosity can help us reach more girls with sanitary supplies and create a school environment where girls can learn with confidence and dignity.
This third term, we are calling on partners to help ensure that no girl is forced to choose between managing her period and attending school.
A sanitary pad may appear small, but to a girl facing poverty, it can represent dignity, confidence, attendance, and another day of learning.
