Push Girls Foundation was at Makalagunzu Market today đź’¬

We sat down with vendors, parents, and young people in Choma District to talk about two issues that quietly hold girls back: period poverty and access to education through the Re-Entry Policy.

Too many girls miss school simply because they can’t afford pads. Too many girls who become mothers never make it back to the classroom. We’re listening, learning, and building solutions rooted in what our communities actually need.

Every girl deserves dignity. Every girl deserves a second chance. 💪🩸📚

Meet Jenifer. 🧵🩸

Jenifer is 14 years old, in Grade 7 at Choma Remedial School. Thanks to your support, she recently learned how to make her own reusable sanitary pads through the Push Girls Foundation’s Period Without Poverty Project.

For girls like Jenifer, this skill means more than just having pads , it means independence, dignity, and the confidence to stay in school every day of the month, period or not.

Thank you to every donor, partner, and volunteer who makes moments like this possible. Because of you, Jenifer and girls like her are being equipped with skills that will last a lifetime.

We donated 100 sanitary pads to Moomba primary school.This will ensure young girls stay in school.

Period poverty continues to keep too many girls out of school. That’s why we’re teaching girls how to make their own reusable sanitary pads using simple, affordable materials that are easy to find in their communities.

Materials needed:
đź§µ Chitenge fabric
đź©¶ Fleece
🤍 Absorbent cotton or flannel
🪡 Needle and thread
✂️ Scissors

With these simple materials, girls can create reusable sanitary pads that are safe, sustainable, and affordable.

Together, we’re building a future where no girl misses school because of her period. 💜

Thirty girls from Choma Remedial School have received sanitary pads, and they are now learning how to make their own reusable sanitary pads.

Through our partnership with Thusa Luna we are not only providing immediate menstrual support but also equipping girls with a sustainable skill that will help them manage their periods with dignity and confidence.

Partnerships like this remind us that lasting change happens when we work together. Together, we are taking meaningful steps toward ending period poverty,one girl at a time.

PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

We are excited to announce a new partnership between Push Girls Foundation and ThusaLuna, an organization dedicated to promoting mental health and emotional wellbeing.
We sincerely appreciate Thusa Luna for their generous support toward the purchase of sanitary pads for girls in our communities and for their commitment to improving the lives of young women.
This partnership will combine menstrual health and mental health, recognizing that a girl's wellbeing is both physical and emotional. Together, we will work to:

1-Provide menstrual health education
2-Raise awareness about mental health
3-Create safe spaces for girls to talk openly
4-Distribute sanitary pads to vulnerable girls
5-Promote dignity, confidence, and resilience among young women

At Push Girls Foundation, we believe that no girl should have to choose between managing her period and protecting her mental wellbeing. By joining forces with Thusauna, we are taking a step toward a future where girls are supported holistically and empowered to thrive.
Thank you, Thusauna, for standing with girls and helping us build healthier, stronger communities.

Push Girls Foundation Visits Pilgrim Christian School — Choma, Southern Province

Push Girls Foundation was honored to visit Pilgrim Christian School in Choma, Southern Province, as part of our ongoing Period WithOut Poverty campaign, engaging with 60 girls on the critical issue of menstrual health and hygiene.

The session focused on breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation and equipping young girls with the knowledge and confidence to manage their periods with dignity, ensuring this natural process never becomes a barrier to their education.

We were pleased to welcome Minari Sakiyama, a JICA Volunteer, whose participation underscores the value of partnership in advancing girls’ health and education initiatives.

We extend our gratitude to the students, staff, and partners who made this visit a success. Push Girls Foundation remains committed to ensuring that no girl in Choma, or anywhere, is held back from school due to lack of access to menstrual health resources and education.

On Friday, the team at Push Girls Foundation visited Pilgrim Christian Academy for an engaging menstrual health and hygiene session with 50 young girls.

The session created a safe and supportive space for open conversations about menstruation, helping participants better understand their bodies, menstrual hygiene practices, and reproductive health.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Ms. Minari, a dedicated JICA Zambia volunteer, for leading the session and sharing her knowledge with the girls. Through her guidance, participants learned about the female reproductive system, the menstrual cycle, how menstruation begins, and the importance of maintaining good menstrual hygiene.

In the picture, Ms. Minari is facilitating the discussion and empowering the girls with essential information to help them make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Together, we are breaking the stigma around menstruation and ensuring that every girl has access to accurate information, confidence, and dignity.
