No girl should miss
because of her period
We visit schools across Nepal to talk openly about periods, and give every girl a free Confidence Kit with reusable pads that last for years.

What we do
In many parts of Nepal, periods still keep girls away from school, the kitchen and even the water tap. We work with schools to change that, one classroom at a time.
School sessions
Our team visits schools to talk about periods, hygiene and health in a way that feels normal and safe.
Confidence Kits
Each girl gets a free kit with reusable pads, underwear and soap, so she has what she needs every month.
Families and communities
We include boys, parents and teachers too, because girls do better when the people around them understand.
Periods are still taboo in Nepal
Many girls grow up hearing they are “chuna nahune”, or untouchable, during their period. The belief that menstruation is impure keeps them out of school, away from health care and apart from family life.
Our sessions help girls, boys, parents and teachers see periods as a normal, healthy part of growing up.
