Our mission is teaching young Africans about menstrual health and how to understand their bodies in order to combat stigma surrounding menstruation.

We are aware that there is no one answer that will work for all communities. Our team went to Tanzania for this reason: to organize workshops, hear about the specific menstrual health issues these communities confront, and to figure out how to best handle this crucial and delicately culturally charged subject.
We had the opportunity of meeting with groups that share our passion for women's health in addition to meeting amazing ladies through our workshops in the Dar el Salaam area. Through our pioneering work and outreach, we have forged alliances with a number of organizations that serve the same target audience in Tanzania.

"I am so happy to be joining a health club! I want to learn more about my body and share that with my community."
By establishing Girls Health Clubs in schools across the nation, we feel we have worked together to develop a collaborative and long-lasting solution that can be replicated and very impactful. In these clubs, girls will receive instruction on reproductive health as well as the materials and tools required to make reusable menstrual products created by our team of health professionals.
