While the world talks about periods, too many girls in rural Rwanda are still missing school because they cannot afford a pad.
At @DCFWOMEN, we believe every girl deserves dignity, confidence, and the chance to thrive.
Through menstrual health education, school clubs, and reusable pads, we have already reached 25,000+ women and girls but the fight is not over.

Watch. Share. Act. Support the movement.
