This project aims to address the critical issue of menstrual hygiene management in schools and communities. Menstruation is a natural process experienced by adolescent girls and women, yet the lack of proper facilities, information, and resources often leads to negative consequences, including health risks, educational disruption, and social stigmatization. This project seeks to improve menstrual hygiene management by implementing comprehensive interventions, including awareness campaigs
Menstrual hygiene management is a significant challenge in many schools and communities. Lack of access to clean and private toilets, safe water, sanitary products, and proper information on menstruation contribute to negative outcomes for girls and women, including health issues, absenteeism from school, reduced academic performance, and social exclusion.
We will Organize awareness campaigns in schools and communities, utilizing media, community gatherings, and peer-to-peer engagement. Train teachers and community leaders to facilitate ongoing menstrual health education programs
Incorporate menstrual hygiene management into existing health and education policies and programs. Establish maintenance and repair mechanisms for the infrastructure developed under the project. Empower and engage local stakeholders and communities to take ownership of the project activities. Document best practices and lessons learned to facilitate replication and scale-up in other schools and communities.
