This is Amina’s story.

Amina is a bright 17-year old girl who dreams of becoming a nurse. Every morning, she walks several kilometers to her school in a small #African village.

She loves learning, especially science because one day, she wants to help people in her community.

The strongest organisations in Africa aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones with the strongest local partnerships. I put together a practical playbook on finding the right partners, and structuring collaborations that actually last.

@ToyinSaraki Inspiring collaboration.

Menstrual health is a critical part of health and wellbeing, and continued investment in women and girls will create lasting impact across communities.

@rosensarr Great to see this kind of cross-partnership advancing health, gender equality, and sustainable development across Africa.

In my work in the #gender equality space, I see how crucial collaborations like this are in turning commitments into real impact for women and girls.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

@AfDB_Group Great initiative.

It would be impactful to ensure that domestic resource mobilisation through #NAFAD also supports essential but often overlooked areas like #menstrual health, which is fundamental to #gender equity and inclusive development.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

May this month of June bring new partnerships, funding opportunities, and bold action to expand access to sustainable menstrual health solutions for women and girls across Africa.

@vanyaradzayi @AfricanUnionUN @UN @UN_PGA @AminaJMohammed Appreciate your strong leadership on WASH as a rights and empowerment issue for women and girls.

When we design WASH systems with menstrual health in mind, we move from access to true inclusion ensuring no girl misses participation because of basic water and hygiene gaps.

@IrlEmbTanzania @UNICEFTanzania @dfatirl @Irish_Aid @IEAmbDar @unwomentanzania This is a strong step toward localized protection systems.

It brings me joy to work with partners to unlock financing and expand access to sustainable menstrual health solutions for women and girls across Africa.

To date, we’ve reached over 260,000 women and girls, and we remain committed to scaling this impact further.

@SwedeninUG @SweinEthiopia Strong progress on SRHR through AU–Sweden partnership.

To truly empower women and girls, these efforts must also prioritize sustainable menstrual health solutions and ensure access reaches the community level where period poverty still limits dignity, education, and opportunity.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

@IOMchief @IOMchief, thank you for your global leadership.

As we support displaced women and girls, we must keep pushing for sustainable menstrual health solutions like menstrual cups, which help reduce recurring costs and improve access in humanitarian settings.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

@UNmigration Responding to migration challenges must also include protecting the #health, dignity, and wellbeing of women and girls.

Access to menstrual health support and essential hygiene services remains critical in humanitarian and displacement settings.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

@ToyinSaraki @WASHUnited @UNICEF Important reminder that menstrual health is about dignity, education, and opportunity.

At @CouldyouCup, we continue working across Africa with governments and partners to scale sustainable menstrual health solutions and unlock financing for women and girls in communities.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

@UNFPA_ESARO Periods should never be a barrier to opportunity. We continue to champion this intervention across Africa through @CouldYouCup, working with government agencies and private sector partners to unlock financing and expand access for women and girls.

[UNICEF Uganda @UNICEFUganda]

1 in 10 school-going girls in 🇺🇬 misses 1–3 days of school every month due to lack of safe facilities, pain or fear of stigma.

Periods should never interrupt learning. UNICEF continues to support efforts to make schools safer, more inclusive & #PeriodFriendly for every learner.

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

@UNICEFUganda @MHDay28May @UNFPAUganda @unwomenuganda @Educ_SportsUg @Mglsd_UG @min_waterUg @UNICEFwater @UNICEFAfrica @PEASchools @EUinUG Powerful initiative by @UNICEFUganda

In Africa, we’ve seen how menstrual cups and menstrual health education are helping reduce school absenteeism, improve girls’ confidence, and combat period poverty and child marriage risks.

Proud to work with amazing #partners driving this

[Olabode Samuel Aturu @Aturusam]

Another new week to forge strategic partnerships in the fight against menstrual poverty in #Africa.

Driving access, dignity, and sustainable solutions for every girl and woman. @ClubKyanja @WomensHealthMag @Amref_Worldwide @ReafUg @GirlsNotBrides @UN_Women @MastercardFdn @owasp

Across African communities, our impact is being felt by providing sustainable menstrual health solutions that protect dignity, support education, and empower girls to thrive. @UNICEF

Why I talk about girl child financing in every meeting is because we cannot say we care about girls while ignoring one of their most basic needs; menstrual health. Funding girls means protecting their dignity, education, health, and future

WHEN GIRLS THRIVE COMMUNITIES RISE:

Thank you President Morris Ninsiima and Gerald Odongo⁩ of @rckitukutwe for finalizing distribution of the menstrual cups today.

Thank you to the @CouldyouCup team for all the education you give the girls in these communities.

Blessings!
