Period poverty affects girls all over the world. Access to menstrual products, a timely menstrual education and the right to manage menstruation without shame or stigma, is essential.

For many, this is not a reality. This is not just a health risk - it can also mean girls' education, wellbeing, and sometimes entire life is affected.

Just like in the UK, in Ghana sanitary pads also cost on average £1.50 - £2. But minimum wage in Ghana is around £21 a month. A packet of pads can cost up to 2 whole days of pay. For families with many young girls, this is impossible.

Aunt Flo aims to ensure thousands of young girls in rural communities in Ghana stay in school and manage their periods with dignity.

Our project will have 2 main focus areas delivered in 8-10 schools:

- sustainable reusable pads

- a long-term menstruation education and empowerment programme for schools

Help us ensure over 3,000 young girls in rural communities in Ghana stay in school and manage their period with dignity.
