Break the Silence. Keep Girls in School.

No girl should miss school because of her biology. We address one of the leading causes of absenteeism among adolescent girls—lack of access to menstrual health products and education. By combining practical support with awareness and community engagement, the program ensures that girls can consistently stay in school with dignity.

"Before FOCAYO, I would miss school for 4 days every month. Now I never miss a day. I want to be a doctor."

— Neema, 16, Beneficiary
