The BARKA Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering women and fostering resilience among young girls, particularly those in high schools. Over the years, we have successfully implemented initiatives that address critical issues such as menstrual health and hygiene, directly contributing to the well-being and happiness of thousands of girls.
This year, the Foundation organized a sports competition for the young girls at Lycée Communal Polyvalent, a school with a student body of 2,500. This event was designed to inspire, educate, and boost the confidence of participants in managing menstrual health and hygiene effectively.
Additionally, the BARKA Foundation is hosting today March 8th, a women's roundtable discussion, bringing together project leaders and participants to address menstrual health challenges and explore the use of appropriate sanitary kits. This platform provided valuable insights and practical solutions for women facing diverse issues in this domain.
In line with our vision for women’s empowerment, BARKA undertook significant initiatives early this year, including training women in gardening to enhance family nutrition. To support this effort, we drilled a positive well that now supplies drinking water to over 300 people and provides irrigation for the vegetables cultivated by these women.
None of this would be possible without your unwavering support. We are deeply grateful for your contributions and encourage you to continue partnering with us to transform the lives of women through your steadfast generosity.
