NGONDA PADS
Every girl to school, with or without her period.
Through our Ngonda Pads project, we fight menstrual poverty in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. From 8 to 18 March 2027, we will visit the Mbuetete school in Dibuli to raise awareness about menstruation, menstrual health and hygiene, and break the stigma surrounding periods.
Together with girls, boys, women and men from the local community, we aim to make menstruation a topic that can be discussed openly and without shame. We will also develop a sustainable educational project with the school, ensuring that future generations of students benefit from better knowledge and awareness.
By involving local women and supporting their craftsmanship, we combine education, health, women's empowerment and sustainable community development.
Because menstruation should never be a barrier to education, dignity or opportunity.
OUR PARTNER IN EDUCATION: MBUETETE DIA SASSA
Education is at the heart of sustainable development. That is why we are proud to highlight the work of Mbuetete Dia Sassa, a school initiative in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, committed to creating educational opportunities and a brighter future for children.
Through our Ngonda Pads project, we collaborate with the school in Dibuli to bring menstrual health education into the school environment and ensure that every girl can continue her education with dignity and confidence.
