Lack of sanitary feminine hygiene products remains a pressing problem in Ghana and around the world. Without sustainable options, girls miss school, and some even have difficulty leaving the house. In Ghana, it is estimated that 95% of girls, mainly in rural areas, miss school each month due to inadequate sanitation facilities and a lack of sanitary products. For one week every month, life pauses for these students. Because of these struggles, many girls fall behind and eventually drop out of school altogether. Days for Girls is breaking this cycle of disempowerment by increasing access to menstrual hygiene care and education. Together, we're creating a world with dignity, health, and opportunity for all.
