EVENTS CORNER
SSA PERIOD POVERTY DRIVE ENDING PERIOD POVERTY ONE PAD AT A TIME During the month of May, DHL4Her rolled out a Menstrual Awareness campaign aimed at supporting women in our communities with sanitary products. The main objective of the campaign was to raise awareness of the need that still exists in our communities, and to provide the necessary support that women and primarily young girls need. The initiative was rolled out as part of our Menstrual Awareness Day, which is dedicated to breaking taboos and raising awareness about the importance of good menstrual hygiene. Let’s use this opportunity to educate each other, empower those in our close circles, and change the conversation around menstrual health. Stigma surrounding menstruation creates barriers to open discussion and solutions, causing millions of girls to miss up to 20% of their school year. DHL4Her team is excited to announce that over 5 300 sanitary products were collected and distributed to women within our communities, who desperately needed them. THAT IS NOT ALL >>>
To support our commitment to ending Period Poverty across SSA, the Management Team has approved the bulk purchase of over 200 000 sanitary towels, which will soon be distributed throughout the region. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO IMPROVE LIVES!
