The Right to be a Girl

Savana Signatures is of the firm believe that providing underprivileged menstruating girls with free sanitary pads monthly, so they feel empowered and dignified to stay in school at all times is essential.

The government of Ghana launched a free sanitary pad program in April 2025 to provide free pads to 2 million girls in public basic and secondary schools. The initiative aims to reduce school absenteeism due to menstruation and promote dignity by ensuring every girl has access to hygiene products. 

Our project will contribute to and accelerate the government's commitment to ending period poverty in the country by targeting young girls who are out of school.

We continue to seek for the needed funding to construct new or additional Sanitary Pad Banks across Ghana. With your support, we will reach our goal of setting up multiple Sanitary pad banks across Ghana to provide a safe and hygienic environment to girls to access free sanitary pads. This will address multiple challenges at a go; Improved hygiene and reduced reproductive tract infections, increased school attendance, and empowerment among other benefits.

Our project aims to establish 10 free sanitary pad distribution centers across 10 communities in Ghana, providing free packs of essential sanitary products for vulnerable girls each month.
