Bob School
Periods in Ghana are commonly associated with lacking education, social stigmas and expensive pads. These structural factors frequently force girls to stay at home during their period, resulting in educational gaps and disadvantages compared to boys. Because of that, girls on average miss 3 months of education per year! We think this is unacceptable and unnecessary!
Our next task: Bob school
Our next project with regards to menstrual health will be directed to the students at Bob school in Ogbodjo, Ghana. After constructing a new sanitation facility, providing the students with the necessary building for proper hygiene, we now aim to address further challenges linked to hygiene. We do so by educating on menstrual health and by providing reusable menstruation pads supplied by our partner Days for Girls.
