Nobody taught me about periods in school.
I had to figure it out on my own—and I know I’m not alone.
This week, our team in Ghana set out to help change that story.
In partnership with the Medical Women’s Association of Ghana, we showed up at two schools in Accra for World Menstrual Hygiene Day — not with brochures, but with real conversations.
Together, we discussed:
• Menstrual health and breaking common myths
• Iron deficiency and why constant fatigue isn’t “just normal”
• The link between nutrition, deworming, and healthy development
• How awareness today can lead to healthier futures tomorrow
These girls were not just listening. They were hungry for this information.
Over 500 pupils. Two schools. Two days. One conversation that should have started much earlier.
We believe healthcare doesn’t start at a clinic. It starts with a young girl knowing her body — and knowing she deserves to be well.
