HER PAD
PROJECT
HER PAD PROJECT seeks to help our young ladies in the rural areas or communities with sanitary pads for their monthly flow. Sanitary pads are essential items every woman needs monthly for their flow, yet there are a lot of young ladies who are not able to afford this necessity. They sort to the use of all sorts of unsanitary items like clothes to replace the use of pads.
For this project, every 3 months, we aim to provide young ladies either in selected schools or communities with at least 2 sanitary pads and some tissue papers to last them for 2 month while educating them on menstrual health.
Our goal is to reach and provide as many young ladies with this woman necessity as possible while educating the youth and our communities about sanitation and health.
FIRST DONATION
Our first donation was held on Friday, February 18th 2022 at the Suhyen SDA Basic School and Oyoko Methodist School both in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
The team were well welcomed by the headmaster/Headmistress and teachers of both school. Female students were taken through a talk session on how to take care of themselves during their menstrual cycle. Which was very engaging and fun as student asked questions and shared their own opinions.
The Male student were not left out as they were also engaged on pertinent issues concerning them. They were educated on social vices and how to stay away from bad company.
Both schools highlighted some challenges they are facing in their schools which included lack of computers and other teaching and learning materials.
In total 336 Pads with Sanitary wipes were distributed to both schools.
The impact was great and clearly showed that we need to keep this project running.
