Background:
The project aims to improve the well-being, participation, confidence, and agency of adolescent girls by addressing barriers related to Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH). Limited access to accurate menstrual health information, appropriate menstrual hygiene knowledge, and supportive school environments can negatively affect girls’ attendance, participation, confidence, and overall learning experience.
As part of the project, MHH education and awareness activities will be implemented in selected project-supported schools to strengthen adolescent girls’ knowledge, confidence, and ability to manage menstruation safely and with dignity. The intervention will also strengthen the capacity of teaching staff to provide accurate, supportive, and age-appropriate information and to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for adolescent girls.
The intervention will target 400 adolescent girls, particularly girls in the relevant upper primary grades, and will include structured MHH education sessions for adolescent girls and orientation sessions for selected teaching staff.
This assignment is strictly limited to the preparation and delivery of MHH education and orientation sessions. It does not include the procurement, provision, establishment, stocking, or distribution of dignity kits, menstrual hygiene materials, or MHH kits.
