Following the opening ceremony, the girls were thoughtfully grouped into three categories based on their age to ensure that each session was tailored to their specific developmental needs:
Green Tags: Ages 11–13
Blue Tags: Ages 14–16
Purple Tags: Ages 16 and above
The Green Tag group, comprising the youngest participants aged 11 to 13 years, included several girls who were experiencing menstruation for the very first time. This was a particularly sensitive and formative session, carefully facilitated by Sharleen Mutheu and Trizah Mudhonie.
With grace, authenticity, and compassion, our facilitators created a safe and open space where the girls could learn about menstrual health, ask questions freely, and feel reassured in their experiences. Acting as nurturing "big sisters," they shared personal insights and emphasized that menstruation is a completely normal and healthy part of growing up.
This session was not only informative but also deeply affirming, helping the girls feel seen, supported, and confident as they navigate this new phase of life.
