Empowering Menstrual Hygiene: Kilimanjaro Candles and More Foundation’s Commitment to Health and Education.

Introduction

Menstrual hygiene is often a silent crisis affecting millions of girls worldwide. At Kilimanjaro Candles and More Foundation, we believe that no girl should have her education disrupted due to the lack of sanitary products. Our mission is to empower young schoolgirls in Kenya by providing them with access to menstrual hygiene products, ensuring they can manage their periods with dignity and continue their education without interruptions.

The Mission of Kilimanjaro Candles and More Foundation

Our foundation is dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of young schoolgirls in Kenya by providing sanitary pads. Our goal is to break the barriers that menstruation places on education and well-being. By addressing these challenges, we aim to foster a supportive environment where girls can thrive.

The Importance of Providing Proper Menstrual Products

1. Health and Hygiene: Without access to sanitary pads, girls often resort to using unhygienic materials such as old rags or leaves, which can lead to infections. By providing sanitary products, we ensure they maintain proper health and hygiene, reducing the risk of illness.

2.
Education: Lack of access to menstrual products often results in girls missing school during their periods, which impacts their academic performance and long-term opportunities. By providing sanitary pads, we help keep girls in school, allowing them to focus on learning rather than worrying about managing their periods.

3. Psychological Well-being: Stigma surrounding menstruation often leaves girls feeling ashamed and isolated. By providing them with proper products and education, we help boost their confidence and self-esteem, allowing them to navigate their periods with dignity.

Raising Awareness and Ending Stigma

We believe that menstrual hygiene should not be a taboo subject. Through education and advocacy, we strive to break the silence and end the stigma surrounding menstruation. By involving communities and promoting open conversations, we ensure a more supportive and understanding environment for young girls.

The Global Impact on Women and Girls

Globally, millions of girls face barriers to education because of inadequate menstrual hygiene management. This not only affects their education but also their future economic opportunities and overall quality of life. Through our efforts, we aim to change this narrative and promote gender equality, ensuring that no girl is held back by her period.

The Role of Kilimanjaro Candles and More Foundation

Our foundation provides sanitary pads, education on menstrual hygiene management, and community engagement to ensure that these programs are sustainable. We aim to create a positive and lasting impact on the lives of the girls we serve.

Conclusion

Empowering girls with access to menstrual hygiene products is not just about health—it’s about their right to education, equality, and a brighter future. Join us in our mission to support girls in Kenya by contributing to our cause and helping us make a tangible difference in their lives.
