Recognizing the critical importance of safe spaces for the well-being and development of girls, Find Your Feet, with generous support from the May Foundation, is making significant strides in enhancing menstrual hygiene management in rural schools across Malawi. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to improving both the health and educational outcomes of young learners, particularly in underserved communities.

Access to proper menstrual hygiene supplies and facilities is a fundamental right that directly impacts a girl’s ability to attend school consistently and perform academically. By increasing investments in these essential resources, we are not only addressing a critical health need but also empowering girls to achieve their full potential in education.

The project focuses on providing schools with sustainable water and sanitation facilities, ensuring that every girl has access to a clean and private space to manage her menstrual health. This intervention is crucial in reducing school absenteeism among girls and fostering a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.

Our efforts align with global goals to promote health, education, and gender equality, recognizing that investing in water and sanitation infrastructure is a key driver of sustainable development. By creating safe and supportive school environments, we are helping to pave the way for a brighter future for the girl child in Malawi.
