Keep Girls in School

Before backpacks. Before notebooks. Let’s start with dignity.

Back-to-school season is here!

As the school year begins, girls across Kenya are ready to return—if we give them the chance.

Velma, 13 - Huru beneficiary

When Velma got her first period, her mom did everything she could to help—even though just 61 cents for pads could stretch the family budget too far.

But that support couldn’t come every month. And when there was no money for pads, Velma stayed home. “I woke up and found that my period had already started,” she says. “I didn’t have any pads left, so I didn’t go to school.”

A few days here. A full week there. By the end of the term, she had missed more school than she could make up.

At Huru, we’re changing that.
