Menstrual Pads and Period Kits for Girls in Need

Access to appropriate menstrual hygiene products is an important aspect of health, dignity, and educational participation for girls and young women. In many communities around the world, girls from low-income families may lack regular access to menstrual pads or period care supplies, leading to discomfort, missed school days, and unnecessary barriers to full social and educational engagement. Inadequate menstrual hygiene management can also contribute to health risks and social stigma, underscoring the need for supportive interventions that foster inclusion and well-being.

PASDO’s Menstrual Pads and Period Kits for Girls in Need program helps address these challenges by providing essential menstrual hygiene supplies to girls who might otherwise struggle to afford them. Through partnerships with local stakeholders and community representatives, PASDO supports the distribution of high-quality menstrual pads and complete period kits in areas where needs have been identified. In addition to distribution, this program is paired with age-appropriate education and guidance on menstrual health and hygiene to empower girls with knowledge and improve overall health outcomes. By reducing barriers to menstrual hygiene management, this initiative supports girls’ confidence, school attendance, and participation in daily life without interruption.
