Achieve menstrual equality in Iringa, Tanzania, through education and sustainable period kits

$2,050

raised by 28 people

$10,000 goal

Dignity for Daughters (DfD) mission is to achieve menstrual equity in Iringa, Tanzania.  Sustainability will be accomplished through reproductive health education and ensuring reusable menstrual product availability by establishing local sewing ventures.

Only 1 in 5 girls in Iringa, Tanzania have access to formal menstrual health products, causing up to 5 missed days of school every month.  We are dedicated to providing girls and boys with a curriculum that is otherwise absent in secondary education in Iringa. Students are also equipped with reusable pads to help them manage their health with dignity and not miss valuable days of school. We aim to empower young people with the knowledge and resources they need to break the cycle of poverty and build a healthier, brighter future.

Since 2022, we have provided education to over 4,000 boys and girls and distributed more than 2200 reusable menstrual kits!  In 2025 we are planning additional growth and will do 25 presentations and educate 2025 girls and boys!   Achieving our goal of $10,000 will provide funding to educate and provide kits to 500 girls. Please reach out if you would like a presentation for your group or ideas on how to help us with this critical work.
