Restoring Dignity, Keeping Girls in School

Distribution of Sanitary wears

Dear Family, Friends and Supporters of Serendipity Healthcare Foundation,

The last time you heard from us we were on rehabiliation of hand pumps which we successfully concluded on the repairs of over 15 faulty hand pumps. As part of our project activities, our data team collects data on number of beneficiaries, water related diseases reported cases and menstrual health.

Following a data-driven needs assessment, our team identified critical gaps in school attendance among adolescent girls in a Sabon Gari Community in Fagge Local Government Council in Kano where we recently rehabilitated water handpumps.

To address this, we conducted a targeted intervention providing comprehensive menstrual health education and distributing sanitary supplies to 30 school-age girls. This successful exercise contributes to our running total of over 5,000 girls empowered across the past two years, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring that no girl misses out on her education due to a natural bodily process.

Recognizing that clean water is only the first step in true community health, Serendipity stepped in to bridge the gap between water access and menstrual dignity.

Our team returned to the community school with a holistic three-pronged approach:

Distribution of Sanitary Towels: We provided immediate, high-quality sanitary wear to 30 school-age girls, lifting the financial and logistical burden that kept them trapped at home.
Interactive Mentorship Session: We hosted an open, warm, and stigma-free discussion on menstrual health. The girls learned the biology of their periods, practical tips for tracking their cycles, and best practices for personal hygiene.
Educational Handbooks: To ensure the knowledge sticks, we distributed beautifully illustrated, easy-to-read menstrual health handbooks. These serve as permanent reference guides that the girls can turn to privately or share with their peers and sisters.The immediate relief and joy in the classroom were palpable. By providing both the tools and the knowledge, we unlocked a safer, more supportive learning environment. Follow us on our social media handles to learn more.
