A Movement
For Change
We believe that no girl should miss school because of her period. We are restoring dignity through education and empowerment.
Our Mission
To empower girls through comprehensive menstrual health education, ensuring every girl can attend school with absolute dignity and confidence.
Our Vision
A world where menstruation is never a barrier to a girl's education, ambition, or overall quality of life.
Our Genesis
NeedBe Foundation was founded in November 2014 by Samuel Dzomeku. What began as a passionate Volta initiative has grown into a nationwide movement for menstrual dignity.
In 2018, we launched our first project in Adaklu Waya, reaching 166 girls. We realized then that the majority didn't know how to calculate their cycles or why they had menses.
Our Journey
From a small village initiative to a nationwide movement, every step has been driven by our commitment to girl-child dignity.
