Sankofa Care Initiative
Our Story
-
Women and Girls are facing physical, mental, emotional and health challenges every month due to menstruation and its challenges after, they find this hard to discuss due to perception and the feel of embarrassment and with less solution.
-
Many schoolgirls and women struggle to purchase menstrual hygiene solutions every month, and report using alternative items such as old cloth, toilet paper, and even newspapers.
-
Some girls and women simply skip school or work because they do not have menstrual hygiene options and fear embarrassment. In Ghana it is estimated that girls miss up to 5 days every month in school and that 95% of girls in rural areas failed to attend school during the menstrual period.
Reach, Guide, Empower
Helping girls to stay in school every day
“Through our Adopt a School program, donors and partners can sponsor an entire school or class. Every girl receives a Smart Kit, along with mentorship and education on menstrual health, self‑care, and empowerment. This is more than a kit — it’s a lifeline to education.” “Already, thousands of girls have been supported. Absenteeism has dropped dramatically, and communities are seeing the difference. Girls are staying in school, building confidence, and shaping brighter futures.” “Now, we invite you to join us. Adopt a school. Empower girls. Transform futures. Together, we can reach 10,000 girls by 2027. Partner with Sankofa Care Initiative today — because when girls stay in school, communities thrive.”
