What we do

Practical help, close to home

We’re a young foundation, so we’re starting with one thing and doing it well: helping girls in school understand and look after their health.

  • Health education in schools

    We visit secondary schools to talk with girls about puberty, periods, hygiene and staying safe, in plain words and without shame.

  • A free guide to read first

    Before we visit, girls read our guide on their phones: 8 short topics, each a few minutes long, plus where to get help.

  • Working with the community

    Outreach works best as a team. We want to work alongside schools, families and local health workers who know the girls we serve.
