Women's dignity and health

Girls leave school over menstruation more often than over fees. The cause is usually a toilet that does not work and no way to manage a period with any privacy.

We fix the practical parts: sanitary provision in schools and workplaces, functioning toilets with water and disposal, and education that is delivered without embarrassment to girls and boys both.

Alongside that we fund livelihood training for women returning to work, creches that make working possible at all, and legal aid for women facing violence or abandonment — the last delivered in coordination with statutory authorities, never in place of them.

How the programme works

• Sanitary provision plus working toilets, water and disposal — all three
• Menstrual health education delivered to girls and boys
• Creches and day-care so mothers can take up work
• Legal aid and shelter referral in coordination with statutory authorities
