Empowering Girls: Menstrual Health & Hygiene Management at Rivirivi Primary School

The project with support from the Hilden Charitable Fund, aimed at improving menstrual health and hygiene management for adolescent girls at Rivirivi primary school in T/A Nsamala in Balaka district. The initiative expanded the school's sanitation facilities by constructing a modern sanitary block with four toilets and a private changing room to ensure safety and privacy. Additionally, the project distributed reusable menstrual pads and provided essential training in reproductive health to 103 girls. As a result, the girls gained confidence, adopted better hygiene practices, and experienced a significant reduction in school absenteeism during their periods.
