Our Work
Both begin with cloth: the strips of fabric girls still use because nothing better is within reach, and the sewing skills that turn a young mother into an earner. Around them sit education support and community health work in the same communities.
Livelihoods
OperatingA structured second-chance pathway for teenage mothers: psychosocial support, menstrual and sexual reproductive health education, vocational skills, entrepreneurship, and the practical tools that turn training into income.
Menstrual health
Seeking funding“Discard the cloth, take care of your health”
A social behaviour change campaign addressing the lack of education on menstrual hygiene management, outdated cultural norms, and the absence of access to sanitary pads.
Alongside the flagships
Education
