A Movement for Dignity and Education

We are thrilled to announce the success of our Pad A Girl Initiative under the theme: "Providing Menstrual Hygiene Products and Education to 200 Underprivileged Girls in Our Community." This impactful program would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our supporters.

"When I got my first pad from the program, I cried. For the first time, I didn't have to miss school because of my period."
— Janet, 14-year-old beneficiary

Our comprehensive approach combines product distribution with essential education on personal hygiene, menstrual health, and teenage pregnancy prevention. We're not just giving pads—we're giving confidence, dignity, and the freedom to pursue education without interruption.
