Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 – Theme: Together for a
Project Luangwa proudly joined other institutions such as Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust - CWET and Time + Tide Foundation in commemorating International Menstrual Hygiene Day at Munkhanya Primary School. This year’s theme, “Together for a Period Friendly World”, reminds us that menstruation should never be a barrier to education, dignity, or opportunity.
During the event we officially handed over newly constructed toilets to the school, a milestone that will greatly improve sanitation and dignity for learners. The occasion was attended by the District Commissioner for Mambwe, alongside key stakeholders including the representative of Chief Mnkhanya, the DEBS, District Health representatives, the PTA Chairperson, Zone Head, and fellow NGOs.
Children and beneficiaries presented poems and speeches and this commemoration was not only a celebration of progress but also a call to action: to continue breaking taboos, promoting dignity, and ensuring that no child misses school because of menstruation.
A huge thank you to the team for organising and the incredible donors who have supported the library and toilet projects at Mnkhanya and covered the costs of important community events such as this.
Also thank you to our amazing team for putting everything together! 🙏🏻🙏🏾
