Story
Millions of women and girls in Ghana face an ongoing struggle that many in the West can scarcely imagine - a lack of access to clean water, private sanitation facilities, and affordable menstrual products. Every month, they are forced to use unhygienic materials like rags, leaves, or mattress stuffing, robbing them of their dignity and putting their health at risk. In a society where menstruation remains taboo, the stigma exacerbates the problem, leaving women and girls to suffer in silence.
The Orange Girl Foundation, in partnership with the UK's William Wilson Turner Foundation, is determined to break this cycle of shame and suffering. We are joining a global campaign to improve menstrual health and hygiene, and we need your help to stage our first national conference on this critical issue in Ghana.
This groundbreaking event will involve health practitioners, policymakers, parents, and educators focusing on the menstrual challenges facing young women and girls. By raising awareness, advocating for reform, and promoting menstrual hygiene management, we aim to create a ripple effect of change that will transform lives.
Your donation will help cover the cost of conference materials, marketing, speakers, facilitators and follow-up initiatives. Together, we can create a world where no girl has to miss out on education or suffer health risks due to a natural biological process.
Donate today and your support will help rewrite the story for countless women and girls in Ghana.
Thank you for joining us in this vital mission.
