From girlnowwomanlater.org ↗About this program
Every month, thousands of girls miss school because of their periods.
In Burkina Faso an estimated 21% of girls are absent from school when they have their period, and 83% participate less in class because of shame.
We're here to help girls navigate school and to learn to manage their periods. This is how:
Menstrual Health Education: We provide age-appropriate, culturally sensitive information to help girls understand their bodies and menstrual cycles.
Free Menstrual Kits: We provide access to essential hygiene products to reduce school absenteeism and promote dignity.
Community Engagement: We collaborate with local schools, families, and health workers to break taboos and foster supportive environments.
Youth Leadership & Advocacy: We provide opportunities for girls and volunteers to become ambassadors for menstrual health and gender equity.
