End Period Poverty for 200 Girls in Kafue, Zambia

Organization information

African Education Program

Location: Wayne, United States of America

Summary

COVID-19 is making period poverty worse worldwide. At a time when AEP's girls in Zambia are in most need of menstrual empowerment, our youth center remains closed due to the pandemic. In a recent poll, 30% of our girls reported using rags or traditional methods during their period. 72% said they would try a menstrual cup. Your support of this project will provide 200 girls with a menstrual health home check-in and training. Each girl will receive a pack of five reusable pads and a menstrual cup.
