Education is a powerful tool for empowering girls and breaking the cycle of poverty. In Uasin Gishu and Bungoma counties, many girls face barriers to education due to a lack of access to sanitary pads and other essential resources. SOET NGO is committed to addressing these challenges by providing education and access to sanitary pads initiatives. By ensuring that girls can attend school with dignity and confidence, we support their academic success and overall well-being.
Our key initiatives are the distribution of sanitary pads to girls in schools. Many girls miss school during their menstrual periods due to a lack of access to sanitary products. By providing free sanitary pads, we ensure that girls can attend school regularly and participate fully in their education. This simple intervention has a profound impact on their academic performance and self-esteem.
We conduct education and awareness programs on menstrual health and hygiene. These programs aim to break the stigma surrounding menstruation and provide girls with the knowledge they need to manage their periods safely and hygienically. By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, we empower girls to take control of their health and well-being. This holistic approach to menstrual health is essential for promoting gender equality and improving educational outcomes.
SOET NGO also advocates for policy changes to support girls' education and menstrual health. We work with local governments and stakeholders to ensure that schools have the necessary resources and infrastructure to support girls' needs. By addressing systemic barriers to education, we create a more equitable and inclusive society where all girls can thrive. This collective effort is crucial for empowering girls and building a brighter future for their communities.
