Nurture and Empower Her Initiative joined forces with our partner organizations Ubuntu Sisters For All Foundation Afrihub @World changers Exceptional Organization to bring menstrual empowerment to Immaculate Conception Secondary School, reaching over 100 students - both girls and boys - in commemoration of World Menstrual Hygiene Day (officially May 28th).

Our impactful program included:
📢 Myth-Busting Sessions - We dismantled harmful misconceptions about menstruation and breast health through open, honest dialogue
🎥 Empathy-Building Film Screening - A powerful short video helped students understand the challenges of period poverty and the importance of solidarity
🛠 Sustainable Skills Training - Taught students to produce Vaseline as an income-generating project to fund menstrual products for their school community
Essential Distributions - Provided reusable pads, disposable pads, and hygiene kits to those in need

This commemoration went beyond awareness - we equipped students with knowledge, resources and skills to create lasting change. When we educate both girls and boys about menstrual health, we're building a more understanding and supportive community.
Special thanks to:
  • Our dedicated partner organizations
  • Anonymous Benefactors
  • The administration of Immaculate Conception Secondary School
  • All the amazing students who participated with open minds
  • Our volunteers who made this event possible
The conversation continues! Nurture and Empower Her Initiative we remain committed to ending period poverty and stigma in our communities.
