IMPROVING LIVELIHOOD
Empowering initiative by the Tikvah Foundation focused on adolescent girls. This project addresses menstrual health and hygiene by providing reusable pads and conducting educational workshops. These workshops educate young girls about their bodies, hygiene practices, and self-care, which helps them manage their periods with dignity and stay in school.
Many girls in the community face challenges during their menstrual cycles due to a lack of resources and awareness. By donating reusable pads and offering comprehensive menstrual health education, the Tuko Fresh Project ensures that girls do not miss school during their periods, promoting continuous education and reducing absenteeism. This initiative plays a crucial role in breaking the stigma associated with menstruation and empowering girls with the knowledge and tools they need for their personal health and hygiene.
Additionally, the project collaborates with local organizations to create a sustainable impact. By involving the community and leveraging local resources, Tuko Fresh not only provides immediate support but also fosters long-term change and awareness, contributing to the overall well-being and empowerment of young girls in the community.
