Meet Ama. She’s 14. She loves maths. She wants to be a nurse.

Last month, Ama’s period started during first period.
No pad. No toilet with water. No teacher she could tell.

She tied her sweater around her waist and walked 45 minutes home.
She missed the maths test.
She missed the next 3 days of school.
She’s now scared it will happen again.

Ama is 1 of 2,000,000 school girls in Ghana facing this every month.
Not because she’s careless.
Because no one taught her.
Because pads cost more than her family’s daily food budget.
Because shame tells her to hide, not ask.

PEG exists so Ama’s story changes.

When we enter her school, Ama gets:

Education – She learns her body is normal, not dirty
Access – A Dignity Pack with pads so she’s never caught unprepared
Dignity – A private corner in school + teachers who understand
Result? Ama takes her maths test. She stays in school. She becomes a nurse.

Your sister, daughter, student is Ama.
Your GHC 20 = 1 month of school for Ama.
Your share = 1 more headteacher calls us.

Mothers of Ghana launched PEG for every Ama in Ghana.
Help us reach her before she drops out.

MYTH 1:
“You can’t cook or you’ll spoil the food.”

TRUTH:
Periods don’t make you unclean or dangerous. You can cook, pray, play, and go to school. Just wash your hands like you always do. Your period is biology, not a curse.

MYTH 2:
“Using a pad means you’re not a virgin anymore.”

TRUTH:
Pads sit outside your body. They don’t break anything or change you. Virginity is about s*x, not pads. Every girl deserves to manage her period without fear.

MYTH 3:
“Period pain means something is wrong with you.”

TRUTH:
Some cramps are normal. Your uterus is working. But if pain stops you from school, tell a teacher, matron, or nurse. You deserve help, not silence.

School girls: Your body is not a mystery. It’s yours to understand with pride.
Mothers, aunties, teachers: When we tell the truth, shame dies and girls stay in school.

What myth did YOU hear growing up? Comment below 👇 Let’s break it together.

Welcome to PERIOD EMPOWERMENT GHANA – PEG.

We’re a new nonprofit based right here in Kumasi with one mission: make sure no Junior High School girl misses class because of her period.

Across Ghana, too many JHS girls lose up to 50 days of school every year — not because they don’t want to learn, but because they don’t have a pad, a safe place to change, or the confidence to speak up. That’s 1–2 full terms of Math, English, and Science… gone.

PEG exists to change that.

What we do for JHS girls:

Education – Honest, shame-free menstrual health sessions so girls understand their bodies and rights
Access – Free disposable and reusable pads, so “I wasn’t prepared” never stops her from coming to school
Dignity – Push for clean, private changing spaces in schools so she never has to choose between her period and her education
Our promise: Education. Access. Dignity.
Our goal: So No Girl Misses School. Period.

We’re starting with JHS girls in underserved communities across Kumasi. We partner with schools, parents, churches, and anyone who believes a girl’s future shouldn’t pause for 5 days every month.

This is day one. We need you with us.
👉 Follow this page for updates from schools we serve
👉 Share this with a JHS teacher, parent, or pastor in Kumasi
👉 Message us if your school needs PEG

To every JHS girl reading this: Your period is normal. Your BECE is not optional. Your dreams are valid. We’ve got you. 💪
