Our partnership is transforming lives of girls across Kenya. Here are just a few of the amazing young girls we’ve encountered along the way.

  • Vanessa, 13

    “During the sessions, I learned that some girls have irregular periods and others have regular periods. Most of us never knew the difference. I also learned how to monitor my periods. Now I will be ready with my pads to avoid embarrassment. You have made a big difference in our lives.”

  • Joan, 14

    “I was too ashamed to tell anyone when I first got my period and couldn’t afford pads. Missing 5 days of school a month has greatly affected my performance. Through Huru’s training sessions I have learned there’s no need to be shy about menstruation and staying in school will now be easier.”

  • Bilha, 16

    “I want to become a journalist. It is my prayer that I not only speak for the weak but also speak of vices and challenges facing our community. I want the world to know, because someone needs to speak up for us. Today, Huru and This Is L. are supporting my dreams.”

  • Faith, 13

    “My mother cannot afford to buy pads every month and also provide food. So, we depend on what we are given at school. That usually doesn’t last long. Most of us knew nothing about reusable pads. We are grateful for this program, because we will use these pads and not have to burden our parents for years to come.”
