Menstrual health is not just a women’s issue—it is a community responsibility. 🌍❤️

When men step up to lead conversations around menstrual hygiene, we break down centuries of deep-rooted taboos and build an environment rooted in empathy and respect.

📸 In this photo, our Programme Manager is facilitating an open, supportive workshop with local girls. By breaking down biological facts and debunking cultural myths, he is actively showing these young women that they have strong, informed male allies in their corner.

When we involve everyone in the conversation, we ensure that girls can stay in school, feel confident, and thrive without fear of stigma or shame. 📚✨

Let’s keep breaking the silence and ending period poverty together.

Knowledge is power, and dignity is a right. ✨

Our WCWSA Project Officer is on the ground in Zanzibar, conducting crucial menstrual health and hygiene education sessions with young girls. By breaking taboos and providing accurate health literacy, we are ensuring that no girl has to miss school or compromise her well-being because of her period.

When we empower girls with information, we protect their health, their education, and their future. 🇹🇿 ❤️

ZANZIBAR BOUND! This coming November, the Women and Children Welfare Support Association is heading to Zanzibar, and we need our community to help us make a massive difference for 250 incredible girls! 🇹🇿

✨Every girl deserves the chance to learn with confidence, comfort, and peace of mind. Unfortunately, period poverty and a lack of basic school supplies still keep thousands of bright young minds out of the classroom.We are stepping in to change that, but we can't do it alone! We are gathering resources to build essential care kits packed with:

🎒 Educational Materials (notebooks, writing tools, and learning kits)

🩸 Sanitary Pads to ensure no girl misses school because of a natural biological cycle.

Whether you can sponsor a complete kit, donate supplies, or simply share this post with your friends and family, your support matters.

Let’s come together to make sure these 250 students have everything they need to succeed! 📚❤️

Yesterday, to mark Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Day, our Founder & CEO, Pendo Daudi, was invited to speak at the prestigious Menstrual Health Roundtable hosted by the Scottish Women’s Convention.

Pendo beautifully bridged the gap between our intensive fieldwork in East Africa and local UK initiatives. She shared critical insights drawn from her distinct roles: leading our school-centered programs at WCWSA in Zanzibar, volunteering with Menstrual Rights Global, and facilitating community health workshops at the Parkhead Hub in Glasgow.

During her address, Pendo highlighted a universal truth: while infrastructure differs across borders, the emotional and social barriers young girls face regarding their periods are identical.

Drawing from our school data in Tanzania—where girls miss up to 20% of the school year due to lack of resources—she reminded the roundtable that providing a product is only half the battle. True menstrual equity requires:

🔹 Safe, private school water and sanitation (SWASH) facilities.

🔹 Inclusive education for both boys and girls to smash deeply rooted cultural taboos.

🔹 Targeted, supportive policies for marginalized and minority ethnic communities.

At WCWSA, MHM Day is our annual anchor for aggressive, direct action. We are incredibly proud to see our grassroots mission championed at the highest policymaking levels in Scotland.

Together, let's keep turning menstrual mystery into absolute mastery!

For the Women and Children Welfare Support Association, MHM Day (Menstrual Hygiene Management Day), observed annually on May 28th, serves as a critical moment of action, advocacy, and education to ensure that women and girls can manage their menstruation safely, with dignity, and without stigma.

Kutoka Zanzibar hadi Scotland, tunaziba pengo ili kumaliza umaskini wa hedhi! 🌍✨

Tunajivunia kazi kubwa inayofanywa na taasisi ya Women and ChildrenWelfareSupportAssociation (WCWSA). Kwa kuunganisha uzoefu wa jamii za Zanzibar na mfumo wa Scotland wa “bure kwa wote”, tunaunda harakati ya kimataifa kwa ajili ya heshima ya hedhi.

Je, ni vipi tunaleta mabadiliko?

📍 Zanzibar: WCWSA iko mstari wa mbele kusambaza vifaa vya hedhi, kuboresha usafi wa mazingira mashuleni, na kuhakikisha hakuna msichana anayekosa masomo kwa sababu ya hedhi.

📍 Scotland: Tunapata msukumo kutoka nchi ya kwanza kufanya bidhaa za hedhi kuwa bure, na kutumia uzoefu wao kuvunja miiko na kusukuma mabadiliko ya sera.

📍 Pamoja: Tunashirikiana kubadilishana mbinu bora, zana za elimu, na kuamini kuwa bidhaa za hedhi ni haki ya msingi, si anasa.

Umaskini wa hedhi hauna mipaka — na wala dhamira yetu ya kuumaliza haina mipaka. Tuendelee na mazungumzo! ❤️

On the 7th of April, we had our second Menstrual Health Education Workshop at the Parkhead Hub.

When girls have the right information, they stay in school, stay active, and stay unstoppable. So proud of the girls for showing up and speaking up!
