Join us in making a profound impact on the lives of young girls in Moshi through the Binti na Hedhi Salama project, a vital initiative under the FOEPAGIWO volunteer program. This project is dedicated to educating girls in primary and secondary schools about proper menstrual health hygiene, helping to break the stigma around menstruation, and ensuring they have access to safe sanitary wear.
By volunteering, you’ll contribute to an initiative that has reached over 20 schools within the Moshi municipality, providing essential menstrual health education and donating more than 1,000 pads and 500 reusable sanitary towels to girls in need. Our focus is on empowering young girls in class 6 across six public schools, giving them the knowledge and resources they need to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.
Your involvement will make a tangible difference, helping us continue this critical work and reach even more girls. Together, we can create a supportive environment where no girl has to miss school or feel ashamed due to menstruation. Join us in this transformative journey and be a part of something truly meaningful!
