what we teach

Honest conversations that change lives.

Our education and sensitisation sessions cover the issues adolescent girls and young women really face. We meet girls where they are — in schools, villages and community institutions — and sometimes include boys, because dignity is everyone’s business.

Sessions are led by a public-health practitioner working alongside community health workers and volunteers, and are tailored to the age and setting of each group.

Awareness of STDs, STIs and HIV, and reproductive-health cancers, with referral pathways.

how a session works

Education, then real support.

Introduce

We explain the topic, why it matters, and how it affects school attendance and dignity.

Educate & demonstrate

Practical, frank teaching — including how to use, wash and store reusable pads.

Distribute

We donate sanitary towels and reusable pads to girls who need them, through the school or institution.

Follow up

We gather feedback, answer questions and keep improving — with simple reporting for partners.
