💙 EMPOWERING GIRLS. RESTORING DIGNITY. ENDING PERIOD POVERTY. 🌸
Every girl deserves to experience her period with dignity, confidence, knowledge and without fear or shame. Yet for many adolescent girls living in underserved communities, menstrual health remains a barrier to education, participation and opportunity.
On 20th August 2026, Odi Agency Hub in partnership with Freedom4girls brought menstrual health education, practical skills and sustainable period solutions closer to girls at Lifepool Chapel, Kisumu, reaching 68 adolescent girls from Manyatta and Kondele slums.
We were honoured to be joined by Dr. Tina, CEO of Freedom4girls, and our valued local partner CHILD Ambassadors Development CAD., whose collaboration continues to strengthen community-led action for girls' dignity and wellbeing.
🌸 What did we do?
The girls received practical and age-appropriate menstrual health education, covering menstrual hygiene, body awareness, safe menstrual practices, cup use and the importance of breaking the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation.
They were also trained and supported with reusable menstrual cups, providing a sustainable menstrual product designed to serve for up to 10 years when properly cared for. This means a girl can have a reliable period-management solution for years while reducing the recurring cost and waste associated with disposable products.
Why does this matter?
Period poverty is not simply about lacking menstrual products. It is also about lack of information, affordability, dignity, safe facilities and the confidence to manage menstruation without shame.
For girls in underserved communities, addressing these barriers can mean greater confidence, improved menstrual hygiene practices, reduced anxiety around periods and fewer disruptions to their daily lives and education.
Our purpose is simple:
Equip girls with knowledge.
Provide sustainable solutions.
Build confidence.
Protect dignity.
Create opportunities.
The 68 girls reached at Lifepool Chapel are not just beneficiaries—they are young women with dreams, ambitions and futures worth investing in.
We believe that a period should never stand between a girl and her education, confidence, health or dreams.
This is more than distributing menstrual cups. It is about giving girls knowledge, choice, dignity and the power to manage their periods with confidence. 💙
68 girls. One community. One shared commitment. A stronger step toward ending period poverty.
Together, with communities and partners, we can create a generation where every girl can learn, participate, lead and dream—without her period holding her back.
