My Safe Period Program
My Safe Period is our flagship initiative that breaks the silence surrounding menstruation across Ghana. Through our established methodology, we actively work to dismantle the stigma and equip girls with the knowledge they urgently need.
The 4-Part Workshop Curriculum
Our specialized approach is evidence-based and ensures long-lasting impact:
- Visual Learning: Video info-graphics on anatomy, the uterus, and hormones to explain the biological 'why'.
- Open Dialogue: A safe space Q&A to effectively debunk prevalent myths (e.g., fears of "contamination" or the belief that women cannot cook or bathe with others during menstruation).
- Cycle Tracking: Practical training utilizing a menstrual calculation chart and fact sheet so every girl knows her body's rhythm.
- Theory & Hygiene: Comprehensive lectures on self-care, with a specific focus on understanding and managing menstrual cramps—a major knowledge gap identified in Savelugu.
We deploy a powerful "Peer Educator" model, continually training students who will carry this vital education forward within their Adolescent Health Clubs. By directly tackling myths and pain management, My Safe Period is ensuring no girl is left behind.
