Challenge

In Liberia, period poverty affects thousands of girls and women who lack access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation. Many miss school and work, face stigma, and resort to unsafe alternatives. This deepens gender inequality, impacting their health, dignity, and future opportunities. Without intervention, period poverty will continue to hold back women and girls from reaching their full potential.

Solution

This project will provide free sanitary pads to girls and women in need, ensuring they can manage their periods with dignity. It will also offer menstrual health education to break stigma and dispel harmful myths. Additionally, advocacy efforts will promote sustainable policies for menstrual equity. By addressing both immediate and long-term needs, this initiative empowers girls to stay in school and women to thrive.

Long-Term Impact

This project will empower girls to stay in school, improve women's health, and break the cycle of period poverty in Liberia. By promoting menstrual education and advocacy, it will reduce stigma, foster gender equality, and create lasting policy changes. Equipping communities with sustainable solutions ensures that future generations have the resources and knowledge to manage menstruation with dignity.
