In celebration of World Menstrual Hygiene Day, the Caleb Danladi Foundation has launched a new initiative aimed at improving menstrual health for girls in rural and underserved communities, reaffirming its commitment to promoting girl child education and well-being.

In a statement marking the occasion, the Foundation emphasized that menstrual health is not merely a medical issue but a matter of dignity, equality, and access to education. It highlighted the persistent challenges many girls face—ranging from lack of sanitary products to stigma and poor menstrual hygiene awareness—which often lead to school absenteeism.

To combat these barriers, the Foundation announced a strategic partnership with Terraverde Care Pads by Allgreen Ivy. The collaboration will provide eco-friendly, sustainable sanitary pads to girls in need, coupled with menstrual hygiene education designed to dispel taboos and encourage healthy practices.

“This initiative is a step toward ensuring that no girl is left behind due to a natural biological process,” the statement said. “It is about empowering young girls to attend school confidently, stay healthy, and pursue their dreams without interruption.”

The Foundation also called on stakeholders, community leaders, and the public to join in creating a supportive environment where every girl has the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive.
