Meet Fatima Ezzahra, our Menstrual Health Mentor!

By Carmen Hansen | Communication & Development Assistant

Hi Friends!

We are thrilled to share a heartfelt update with you - our incredible supporters!

Thanks to your unwavering generosity, Stop Period Poverty in Morocco continues to thrive, providing sustainable menstrual kits and life-changing education to young girls throughout Morocco. But this initiative goes far beyond distributing supplies; it’s about empowering girls to embrace their bodies with pride, break free from shame and stigma, and take control of their futures.

Today, we are excited to introduce you to one of our outstanding Menstrual Health Mentors, Elhaou Fatima Ezzahra. Fatima, a 25-year-old medical doctor completing her thesis, has dedicated herself to improving health education for young women. Her words capture the essence of why this work is so critical:

"Improving health education for young women, especially in areas that affect their self-esteem, mental health, and well-being, has always been one of my most important goals. Menstrual health, in particular, is often overlooked, but it plays a key role in preventing infections, building confidence, and fostering body positivity."

Fatima Ezzahra shared how the combination of Project Soar's workshops and menstrual kits creates lasting change:

"The workshops provide a safe space for girls to ask questions, learn, and connect with the mentors. This knowledge gives them confidence and resilience in managing their health. The kits add practical value - they contain essential products that some girls might not otherwise have access to, empowering them to manage their periods with dignity and comfort."

This is at the heart of our mission - to create spaces where girls feel seen, heard, and empowered, turning menstruation into a source of strength rather than shame. Through these workshops, facilitated by passionate mentors like Fatima Ezzahra, girls are not only learning to manage their periods but also building self-esteem and becoming agents of change within their communities. Each workshop and kit helps keep girls in school, reduces the risk of early marriage, and ensures they have the opportunity to pursue their dreams uninterrupted by period insecurity.

None of this would be possible without your continued support. By standing with Project Soar, you are not only providing menstrual supplies - you are fueling a movement that promotes dignity, confidence, and opportunity for girls across Morocco.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your generosity is making a lasting impact, and together, we are ensuring that no girl’s potential is limited by her period.

Warmest wishes,

The Project Soar Team
