Monthly trends
How we are tracking against the plan.
Distributed pads, girls reached and teachers trained over the 12 months of the Brightening the Shameful Days project.
Where we work
Ten partner schools across Samburu.
Each pin represents one of our partner schools. Colours show whether a school has been reached, is in progress, or is still planned.
Voices from the field
Stories of change.
Numbers point us in the right direction. Voices tell us why the work matters.

“We started BFFS because no girl in Samburu should ever choose between her dignity and her schoolbooks.”

“The pad bank means I no longer miss class every month. My marks are better this term than they have ever been.”

“The MHM training changed how our staff talks to girls. The silence around periods has finally broken.”
