Dentists, SHEP Coordinators, Health Promotion Officers, teachers, and staff from Ghana Health Service and Ghana Education Service reviewed an health manual originally developed for Guatemala, now being adapted for Ghanaian schools.

Working in small groups, the team went through the manual and agreed on key additions: supervised in schools, diet tips using local foods like cowpea, clearer referral signs for teachers, and songs and quizzes to engage children.

In , Karaga District, the II Project brought together women leaders, youth leaders, assembly members, traditional authorities, and community volunteers for a forum designed to create a safe space to learn, ask questions, and confront long-standing misconceptions about menstruation and reproductive health.

The forum covered menstrual health, ovulation, and how to distinguish normal patterns from signs requiring medical attention. Participants engaged actively, particularly around practical questions on using menstrual cups during daily activities, and received clear, evidence-based answers.

Positive feedback from leaders and participants alike highlighted the ongoing need for menstrual health education in the community. In response, is taking ownership of the effort by establishing a Community Menstrual #𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞 to sustain awareness and support for women and girls going forward.

As stakeholders emphasized ,when communities are informed, girls are empowered, stigma is reduced, and menstrual health becomes everyone's responsibility.

Because they are among the most underserved groups when it comes to menstrual health information and services. During our engagement, we identified significant knowledge gaps on menstruation, reproductive health, and menstrual cup use, highlighting the need for targeted support.

A powerful moment was when a participant shared her experience using the menstrual cup and even demonstrated its use to her peers, saying, “𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭.

We remain committed to reaching every girl and woman left out of the menstrual health conversation.

𝐀 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. Yet, many children in the communities we serve continue to suffer from preventable oral health conditions due to limited access to dental care and oral health education.

To help change this, we partnered with to conduct school-based oral health education and dental screenings across the selected communities in the three districts where we work. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟓 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐦 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝟏𝟏 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝟒 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧.

But treatment is only part of the solution.

To sustain the impact, we held a community oral health forum with parents, teachers, and community leaders, encouraging parents to promote brushing at home, teachers to reinforce hygiene lessons in class, and leaders to champion healthy smiles in the community.

Together, we are building communities where every child can smile, learn, and thrive free from preventable dental diseases.

Menstruation Isn't Just a "𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐈𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞"

𝐌𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 (𝐌𝐌𝐃), an activity under the RAMCUP project, held a dialogue session bringing together 𝐒𝐇𝐒 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐏 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 for an open conversation on health.

The discussion, sparked by the question "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?", encouraged honest reflection on stigma, faith, and biology. Participants agreed that menstruation is a natural process, not something shameful, and that while faith restricts certain practices during it, it does not forbid discussing it. They also noted that small gestures of support, from classmates or teachers, can make a real difference in easing stigma.

The session brought men and community leaders into a conversation often left to women alone, identified new male advocates for menstrual health, and strengthened support for solutions like school pad banks, reinforcing that menstrual dignity is everyone's responsibility and also reaffirms that when men lead with understanding , stigma has less room to survive.

Every conversation counts.

At Rural Engagement and Empowerment Programme Ghana, radio and television discussions are more than media appearances, they are platforms for amplifying community voices, raising awareness, and advocating for improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services that promote menstrual dignity.

Catch this from our recent discussion on why access to safe, clean, and girl-friendly facilities is essential for ensuring that every girl can manage her menstruation with dignity, confidence, and without barriers to education.

Together, let's continue the conversation and champion lasting change.
