No girl should miss school because of her period. Elite Star Foundation will support 323 vulnerable teenage girls in Nigeria with reusable menstrual hygiene kits, menstrual health education, and life skills training. By addressing period poverty, the project will help girls stay in school, learn with confidence, protect their health, and build brighter futures free from stigma and educational barriers.
Many girls in Nigeria miss several school days each month because they cannot afford sanitary products or manage menstruation safely at school. Stigma, inadequate hygiene facilities, and limited menstrual health knowledge further increase absenteeism and dropout rates. Without support, period poverty continues to undermine girls' education, confidence, wellbeing, and future economic opportunities.
Elite Star Foundation will provide reusable menstrual hygiene kits, menstrual health education, and confidence-building workshops to 323 vulnerable girls. Parents, teachers, and community leaders will also participate in awareness sessions that challenge harmful myths and reduce stigma. The project will help schools become safer, more supportive environments where girls can attend classes consistently and with dignity.
Girls who can manage menstruation safely are more likely to attend school regularly, complete their education, and pursue greater economic opportunities. Increased knowledge and reduced stigma will improve health, confidence, and gender equality within schools and communities. By empowering girls to stay in school, this project will create lasting benefits for families, communities, and future generations.
