Essential Question
how can we sustainability dismantle menstrual stigma and mental health barriers in rural Nigeria
Project Description

Our project is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to tackle the critical issues of menstrual absenteeism and mental health challenges in Yobe State, Nigeria. By harnessing the power of student-led pad-making, peer support circles, and radio advocacy campaigns, students will empower themselves to drive transformative change. This innovative approach not only addresses material needs but also fosters emotional resilience and shifts cultural norms, ultimately reducing absenteeism, improving mental health, and promoting gender equality. By positioning students as leaders and change-makers, we are creating a ripple effect of empowerment that will resonate throughout their communities and beyond.
