sarah's Story

Sarah, a 24-year-old girl, used to miss school for several days every month because she couldn’t afford sanitary pads. This affected her performance and confidence. Through ACCI’s menstrual health program, Amina received reusable pads and participated in sessions that taught her about hygiene and reproductive health. Today, Amina no longer misses school during her period and has become an advocate among her peers, encouraging other girls to stay confident and continue their education. Her story highlights how a simple intervention can change the course of a girl’s education and future.
