Reusable Pads
We give reusable pads to girls and women in villages and refugee camps. These pads are safe and can be used again and again.
Menstrual Health Classes
We teach girls and women about staying clean and healthy during their periods. This helps them understand and feel confident.
Pad Making Workshops
We show people how to make their own reusable pads. This skill helps them and their community.
Puberty Education
We teach boys and girls about the changes in their bodies during puberty. This helps everyone understand and support each other.
Q&A with Medical Volunteers
Girls and women can ask our medical volunteers personal questions. They get clear and helpful answers in a safe space.
Emergency Support
We provide food and medical help to families in need. This support keeps them healthy and strong.
