It’s Back to School for Her As Well

As the first day of school nears, many girls feel a blend of excitement and anxiety. For those in period poverty, however, this time brings fear and the possibility of missing school due to lack of period supplies. Period poverty is a global issue affecting millions of girls, particularly in low-income areas, where the inability to afford menstrual products leads to missed classes, educational setbacks, and feelings of shame.

UNESCO reports that one in ten girls in sub-Saharan Africa miss school during their menstrual cycle, with some dropping out due to stigma. This is a reality that Saalt aims to change. Saalt provides reusable period products like menstrual cups, menstrual discs, and leakproof underwear to girls in need. These items offer a sustainable, cost-effective solution, allowing girls to attend school without discomfort or shame. Period cups can last up to 12 hours, while menstrual discs and period pants, like leakproof panties, provide long-lasting protection.

Saalt’s Impact Program, in partnership with Days for Girls, has reached thousands globally, including in Uganda, where girls receive essential period care and menstrual health education. By supporting girls with these tools, Saalt helps ensure their education and future are not hindered by period poverty, fostering confidence and hope for a brighter future.
