A Pad 4 Her Initiative restoring dignity, one girl at a time.

To every girl child;
You are more powerful than you think.
You are not an inferior gender
You hold the solution to many problems
You are not a tool of exchange for money all in the name of marriage
You are a voice
You can be anything you want to be.
Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
Do not let the society limit you.

Happy International day of the girl child.

We are SUPER excited to kicked off our activities for initiative in a grand style. On Dec 6th 2024, team visited Onyeabor memorial primary School Onitsha.

Outcome
- students and teachers actively participated in the event
- 150 menstrual pads were distributed to students in need
- Students demonstrated increased knowledge and understanding of menstrual hygiene and health
- Students expressed reduced shame and increased confidence in discussing menstruation
- Teachers expressed appreciation for the resources and support provided.

The school sensitization was a huge success. It provided a platform for students to learn, share, and grow together. We aim to continue promoting menstrual health and hygiene education and support in our school and community.

Menstruation presents a formidable challenge for young Nigerian girls, replacing celebration with stigma, abuse and marginalization.

According to UNESCO, 1 in 10 African girls miss school due to menstrual-related issues, culminating in premature dropout. The exorbitant cost of sanitary pads versus the poverty threshold forces impoverished girls to resort to unhygienic alternatives or face sexual exploitation, hindering education and dignity.

Menstruation shouldn't mean health risks, social isolation and limited opportunities.

Less privileged Nigerian girls deserve pride, not shame.

Initiative aims at offering healthy sanitary kits, encouraging them to embrace menstruation, ensuring improved health, education, confidence and well-being.
