Our Project
PROJECT
Education
Training
Through our menstrual education curriculum and the exceptional work of our volunteers, we run training sessions in schools during off-peak hours. The methodology is active and participatory, with a component on teaching participants how to sew menstrual panties and washable sanitary pads. During the 2022 – 2023 school year, 166 young people benefited from these sessions
Period Station
Menstruation is often the reason for absenteeism among schoolgirls. The period station is a space set up by our partners (schools, associations and centers) to provide free sanitary protection to people who need it.
Since 2023, we have distributed 3,000 sanitary towels to two partner schools.
Sensibilisation
Campaign
The ”My first period” campaign aims to break the taboos around menstruation and give a voice back to menstruating people so that they can express themselves freely and build a positive narrative around her period.
This campaign has been running since 2023, and we’re collecting inspiring stories and testimonials to share with our community.
Outreach Event
Since 2023, we have held 02 Outreach events with the active participation of over 150 people, including 107 children and young people in 3 shelters and orphanages. Our main objective is to raise public awareness on menstrual health and hygiene management outside our school programs.
Plaidoyer
Research Program
Research is carried out prior to all our interventions to better define the problem and gather evidence. The research topics can be diverse, but are mainly focused on menstrual health. Following the example of the symposium organized in 2024, we want to share data and best practices on menstrual health and hygiene with stakeholders and players in the field.
Decision-maker engagement initiatives
We’re convinced that change won’t happen if institutional leaders aren’t involved. That’s why our third mission is to influence and engage decision-makers to make informed decisions that benefit society. We have, for example, set up the Coalition for Menstruation, a group made up of Madagascan CSOs to provide a collective voice for menstrual equity. A petition was launched (with 190 signatures) to remove the tax on menstrual products and thus facilitate its access.
