📢 Open Letter: A Call to Action – Pad a Girl, Mentor a Boy

Dear Friends, Partners and Changemakers,

Every day, countless girls in Kenya miss school because they lack access to sanitary products, and countless boys drift into risky behaviors without positive guidance. This is the reality we face - but it doesn’t have to be our future.

The Reality:

The reality on the ground is stark.

✓ In Kenya, over 65% of girls can’t afford basic menstrual products, causing 1 million girls to miss school each month.

✓ At the same time, boys are falling into harmful patterns: a study shows that 24.7% of secondary school boys engage in drug abuse, often tied to peer pressure, poverty, and a lack of guidance.

✓ And the cost doesn’t stop there - disposable pads add to plastic pollution, clogging landfills and harming our climate.

We cannot let this continue!
