Boys & Inclusion

We firmly believe that we don't just teach girls; we teach the entire community. Menstruation affects everyone, and true systemic change requires the active participation and education of all demographics.

Boys as Allies

For far too long, boys have been excluded from the menstrual health narrative, remaining uneducated on the biological reality of their female classmates. This ignorance frequently manifests as teasing and classroom stigma. Our Boys' Education module involves:

• Dedicated sessions for boys focusing on life choices, career guidance, and biological education.
• Explicit and empathetic instruction on how to support girls during their periods, directly collapsing the culture of classroom stigma.
• Teaching young men to act as powerful allies rather than bystanders.

Inclusivity in Action

Empowerment cannot leave the most vulnerable groups behind. A massive milestone in our 2021 expansion has been delivering specific programming for marginalized communities, including conducting sessions at the School for the Deaf in Savelugu.

• We integrated professional sign language interpreters directly into our workshops.
• We adapted our visual learning resources to ensure accessibility for every student, regardless of their auditory abilities.

By embracing boys as allies and ensuring the inclusion of disabled students, we are actively rewriting the cultural script surrounding menstruation across Ghana.
