🎉 Day 1 of our menstrual hygiene training was a success! 🌸
We did not hit our financial goal but are extremely proud of what we’ve been able to do with what we had and how impactful the training was all around.

We had an incredible turnout with 17 women, 6 men, and 51 girls joining us. Today’s session covered essential theory topics like understanding menstruation, counting menstrual days, busting myths about menstrual hygiene, and exploring different types of pads—including the benefits of reusable ones. 🌿💧

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to empower and educate! 💪📚
