We are excited to introduce our peer-to-peer campaign in support of "To Her Full Attendance," a program dedicated to ending period poverty across the globe, and we are starting in Eastern Africa.
The goal of this initiative is to empower girls in primary grades by providing them with reusable hygienic pads, ensuring they can attend school without interruptions caused by menstruation.
In partnership with AFRIpads, a Uganda-based manufacturing company and charity foundation, we are working to supply girls in remote villages with chemical-free, long-lasting pads. AFRIpads is widely recognized as one of the largest suppliers of reusable menstrual products to organizations like UNICEF and the United Nations. Their products, made with the highest safety standards, can last up to four years, ensuring girls remain supported throughout their education in Primary School.
Period poverty remains a significant barrier to education in Eastern Africa. In remote areas, many girls as young as 11 and as old as 16 are still in primary school due to absenteeism caused by a lack of menstrual products. Although reporting in this social issue isn't customary, a lack of access to this basic necessity demonstrates a large number in temporary absenteeism in girls due to not having access, in turn contributing to a higher permanent dropout rate. Compounded by the stigma surrounding menstruation, many girls are left without the resources or understanding needed to manage their periods, leading to long-term setbacks in their education.
Your support of this campaign directly helps tackle these issues head-on. By joining us, you're not only helping girls stay in school but also ensuring that they have access to the education they deserve, free from the challenges of period poverty.
Let’s work together to ensure *her full attendance*!
What your donation will do:
* Every $2000 will trigger a purchase of a batch of 300 reusable hygienic pads, equaling to providing support for a minimum of 24 months for under $7 USD. (Rolling Target-the more we raise, the more we give)
* Each package of AFRIpads contains 6 reusable pads and two carry pouches; providing 24/7 support with enough pads to rotate as necessary.
* In partnership with our local nonprofits, every giveaway will provide girls with education on menstruation, pregnancy, how to prevent early pregnancy/marriage, how to prevent HIV/AIDS, and how to properly care for their new AFRIpads.
