Intervention Areas

Menstrual Health & Hygiene

Target Population

Low-Income Individuals & FamiliesVulnerable or Marginalized Populations (General)

Problem Statement

Lack of sanitary pads forces girls into transactional sex and leads to school dropouts, early marriages, and exposure to FGM.

Proposed Solution

Distribute 'dignity hampers' (sanitary towels) and provide education on menstrual hygiene and rights to girls and the community.

Expected Impact

Reduced infections, early pregnancies, and marriages; empowered girls with better decision-making skills and stronger community support for education.

Sustainability Plan

Short-term needs are met by dignity hampers; long-term impact is fostered through community engagement and parental involvement in girl-child support.
