Recently, we conducted an SRHR training session for young mothers in Kondele, Kisumu.They were taken through by Phoebe Aluoch Okero and we can't help but be incredibly proud of these young women for taking control of their health and futures. We believe that by investing in them, we invest in a brighter and more just society for all.

This training covered:
- Maternal health and childbirth
- Family planning
- Menstrual health and hygiene
- Gender-based violence

Through engaging discussion and hands-on activities, they gained essential knowledge and resources to

- Make informed decisions about their reproductive health
- Protect themselves and their children from violence
- Break the cycle of poverty and promote social equity

Last year, we had the incredible opportunity to team up with .to.jenga for an unforgettable day at Naning’oi Secondary School in Mosiro, Kajiado West! Together, we distributed reusable sanitary towels and conducted crucial menstrual health education sessions.
A highlight of our visit was the inspiring storytelling session with the amazing principal, Miss Susan. Her relentless fight against child marriage and her dedication to getting girls back to school left us in awe. This experience reminded us of the powerful impact we can make when we come together for a good cause.
Ps. Check out .to.jenga they have a life changing project in progress for mathare people and help them make an impact.

There is a dire need for menstrual education in our society, and it has to begin at home and schools.
Adults have to be educated so that they can openly talk about it without being considered taboo because the only way to break taboo is to talk about it. 👏 👏

Once upon a time, in a world where menstrual hygiene was shrouded in silence, a group of passionate people emerged. They raised their voices, broke the stigma, and embarked on a mission to educate and empower. With every post, every conversation, and every shared story, they created a ripple effect of change. Together, they shattered taboos, ensuring that no one would ever feel ashamed or uninformed about their own bodies. And as their movement grew, so did the access to proper menstrual hygiene for all. The story continues, with each one of us playing a vital role in this ongoing journey. Join the movement, become a menstrual health warrior, and together, let's create a world where every person can embrace their period with confidence and dignity. 💪🩸❤️
