PADs: Period Dignity for Girls

The Challenge

Many girls miss school during their menstrual cycle because they cannot afford sanitary pads. Some resort to unsafe alternatives, which affects their health, confidence, and ability to participate in class. Over time, this leads to missed lessons and disengagement from learning.

Our Approach

We provide free sanitary pads alongside menstrual health education and safe spaces for conversation. Girls are encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences, helping us shape support that reflects their real needs.

What this supports

Girls feel informed, confident, and supported to attend school and participate fully, without shame or barriers linked to menstruation.

School Supplies

The Challenge

In many classrooms, students lack basic learning materials such as pens, pencils, and textbooks. Teachers are often expected to deliver lessons without adequate tools, which affects both teaching quality and student motivation.

Our Approach

We equip teachers with materials they need to teach effectively, including textbooks and improvements to classroom tools, such as replacing chalkboards with marker boards.

What this supports

Better equipped classrooms where teaching runs more smoothly and students are able to engage with learning more confidently.

Child Rights Education

The Challenge

In some communities, children face harm or are sent to work because parents, teachers, and students themselves may not fully understand children’s rights or how to access support.

Our Approach

We deliver child rights and protection training for students, teachers, and parents. Children learn where to go for help, teachers learn how to recognise and respond to concerns, and parents gain a clearer understanding of why education must be protected.


What this supports

Safer school environments where children are respected, supported, and able to learn without fear.

The training was great and promoted inclusive learning. I enjoyed sitting in on the session and I would love for this training to be offered to students at other schools, so they can also benefit from learning about antisocial behaviour.
Reflection from a teacher
The part of the workshop that stood out to me was when the students presented different types of alcohol, their causes, and their effects. It was so fascinating! I think the program should be extended to give all the students a chance to benefit from it.
