Girl Child
Empowerment

We are dedicated to providing comprehensive support, including education, healthcare, nutrition, shelter, and spiritual guidance, to empower vulnerable individuals to overcome poverty, abuse, and neglect.

Ending period poverty Now

Sanitary items are a luxury and when you don’t have enough to buy the basic necessities, luxury items are far out of reach. Girls end up using dirty rags, which can lead to infection and missing valuable school days for fear of leakage and total embarrassment.

“Periods without Shame” program has been created in response to the overwhelming challenges that girls in rural Communities face on a daily basis. We want to make sure that we reduce stigma around menstruation by promoting open and honest conversations about menstrual health, hygiene, and access to sanitary pads.

The program provides training for our teachers and girls to make their own reusable, eco–friendly sanitary towels/pads, learn more about health and hygiene and give them a good foundation of self–esteem. We would love for you to get involved! If we can get regular monthly support for this project we can give the girls the skills to succeed.

Ending Teenage Pregnancy Together

We recognize that teenage pregnancy is a significant challenge faced by vulnerable girls in impoverished communities. To address this issue, we implement empowerment programs that focus on providing education, awareness, and support. Through comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education, we equip adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) with knowledge about their bodies and healthy relationships. We also foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where they can ask questions and seek guidance. Additionally, we offer mentorship and counseling to empower teenage mothers, helping them navigate the challenges they face and develop the skills and resilience necessary for a better future.
