Keep 1500 Rural Ayamelum Girls in School
Organization information
Whispering Hope Africa Initiative (WHAIafrica)
Location: OBOSI, Nigeria
Summary
Girls Lead Club formed after the COVID-19 lockdown returned vulnerable girls to school and prevents those at the verge of dropping out. Lack of access to hygienic pads, reoccurrence of infections, unhygienic menstrual practices, all keep them away from school, miss classes. Seeking money for pads leads to sexual violence, unwanted pregnancies and underage marriage. Menstrual Hygiene Education will be provided in the LGA with distribution of certified Pad-Up Reusable Menstrual Kits to 1500 girls.
