CELEBRATING THE MENSTRUAL HYGIENE DAY 2024

The fight against menstrual poverty is a global challenge that affects millions of women and girls, limiting their access to essential menstrual hygiene products and proper education about menstrual health.

As we approach Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024, it is crucial to reflect on the milestones that have been achieved in addressing this issue. From legislative changes to innovative product developments, various efforts have been made to combat menstrual poverty and promote menstrual hygiene.

When it comes to fighting menstrual poverty, it takes a village – or in this case, a global community committed to breaking down barriers to menstrual health. We at Christian Best Camps of Kenya have taken a front line to ensure that girls in Kenyan slums do not have to face the shame that comes with lack of menstrual products. We celebrate the significance of Menstrual Hygiene Day in raising awareness and advocating for change as we share our 3year success story on the milestone we have made and continue to make.

Menstrual Hygiene Day, celebrated on May 28th, aims to break the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation while advocating for access to menstrual products and proper hygiene education. Menstrual Hygiene Day isn’t just about raising awareness; it’s a battle cry against the period taboo and a call to action for governments, organizations, and individuals to women have access to affordable menstrual products, proper sanitation facilities, and education on menstrual health.

We pride ourselves in standing in the gap for women and young girls and pushing the conversation beyond boardrooms to living the drive by offering free menstrual hygiene products to women living in slums across Kenya for free and being part of the change makers ,changing the world, one policy at a time – legislative milestones are paving the way for equitable access to menstrual products and breaking down the barriers that perpetuate menstrual poverty.

Join us on may 28^th as we mark yet another year of fighting menstrual hygiene poverty .
