Keep her in school

Imagine being a schoolgirl who wants to learn, but every month you worry about whether you have the basic supplies needed to manage your period.

For girls at Mwanyagiri Community School, F SSIBU Mission Foundation is working to reduce that worry through menstrual pad distribution.

Our goal is simple: help girls attend school with greater dignity and confidence.

Menstrual poverty can create pressure for families already struggling with household expenses. When menstrual products are unaffordable, girls can face unnecessary barriers to participation in school.

Our intervention provides practical support while opening the door for wider conversations about menstrual health, hygiene, confidence, and girls’ wellbeing.

We want every girl to understand that menstruation is a normal part of growing up—not something that should make her feel ashamed or force her away from her education.

Donor support helps make this possible.

Every contribution helps us reach girls who need this support and strengthens our ability to continue addressing menstrual poverty within vulnerable communities.

A girl should be thinking about her lesson, her examination, her friends, and her dreams—not worrying about whether she has a menstrual pad.

That is the difference donor support can help make.

A child’s education does not begin and end at the school gate. Parents and caregivers play an important role in creating the environment children need to remain in school, develop healthy relationships, and overcome challenges.

At Mwanyagiri Community School, F SSIBU Mission Foundation is engaging parents and caregivers in meaningful conversations around the needs of children. These engagements provide an opportunity to listen to families, understand the challenges affecting learners, and encourage stronger collaboration between parents, schools, and community actors.

Through these conversations, we seek to strengthen parental involvement in children’s education and wellbeing. Parents can help identify challenges early, encourage regular school attendance, support learning at home, and create safer environments for children.

The engagement also recognizes that families themselves may face significant economic and social pressures. Rather than placing blame, our approach focuses on listening, identifying practical solutions, and strengthening the support systems around children.

Donor support makes it possible for F SSIBU Mission Foundation to bring communities together around issues that directly affect children’s futures. When parents, teachers, community leaders, and organizations work together, children are less likely to face their challenges alone.

We believe sustainable change requires community ownership. Supporting a child therefore means supporting the network surrounding that child.

By investing in parent engagement at Mwanyagiri Community School, donors are helping build stronger relationships between families and education providers while creating a community environment where children can be heard, protected, encouraged, and supported to pursue their education.
