Introduction: Pad a Girl Child

The Pad a Girl Child initiative is a transformative project by Team Oluchi Foundation aimed at providing sanitary pads for girls who lack access to menstrual hygiene products. Many girls in underprivileged communities miss school every month because they don’t have the necessary resources for menstrual health. This results in period poverty, which often causes them to fall behind in their education.

Through this initiative, we aim to empower girls by providing them with the necessary menstrual hygiene education and products, ensuring that they can continue their studies and live with dignity.

Project Goals

The primary goals of the Pad a Girl Child initiative are:

• To provide sanitary pads to underprivileged girls who cannot afford them, ensuring they don’t miss school due to menstruation.

• To educate girls about menstrual hygiene and health, promoting self-care and well-being.

• To reduce absenteeism and school dropout rates, especially among girls, by addressing the barriers caused by lack of access to menstrual hygiene products.

• To empower girls to take control of their health, hygiene, and education.

Why Menstrual Hygiene Matters for Girls’ Education

In many parts of the world, period poverty is a real issue that affects the education of millions of girls. When girls don’t have access to sanitary pads, they face challenges in attending school, which leads to increased absenteeism. This prevents them from completing their education and achieving their full potential.

By addressing menstrual hygiene in schools and communities, we are not only ensuring girls’ dignity and well-being, but also contributing to a future where girls can thrive academically and socially.

Impact:
– Improved menstrual hygiene and health among girls- Increased confidence and self-esteem among girls
– Reduced absenteeism and dropout rates among girls
– Empowered girls who can take control of their health and well-being

Success Stories

Meet Amina, a 15-year-old student from a local school who was able to continue her education thanks to the Pad a Girl Child project. “Before I received sanitary pads, I missed school every month, which made it hard to keep up with my studies. Now, I can attend school without worrying about my period. I feel confident, and my grades have improved!”
