4. Nutritional Deficiencies: In the context of menstrual poverty, "under-nutrition" can cause the body to shut down the reproductive system to save energy.
5. Breastfeeding or Menopause: Natural life stages where the cycle stops.
Did you know that not having your periods or them being too late is a #MenstrualHealthCondition?
Common Causes for primary Amenorrhea include:
1. Genetic or Anatomical factors: Issues with how the ovaries or uterus formed.
#LetsTalkPeriods#usikueMSHY
2. Lifestyle Stressors: Extreme weight loss, excessive exercise (common in athletes), or high emotional stress.
3. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A common hormonal condition that causes irregular or absent periods.
Your body is changing, growing, healing, and learning to carry you through the world, and it’s normal to sometimes feel confused, uncomfortable, or unsure.
You are not weak for feeling this way. You are not dramatic. And you are definitely not alone.
#usikueMSHY
There is power in speaking up about the issues that affect us. This year, don’t let silence be the story, raise your voice against period poverty, not just for yourself but for the 500 million women and girls worldwide who struggle with period poverty.
#usikueMSHY
A society that hides periods in silence will always lose more than it realizes.
When girls miss school because they can’t afford pads, when women whisper instead of asking for help, when stigma replaces support, we all lose.

Girls, consent is your right. Your body belongs to you, and you have the power to decide what feels safe, comfortable, and respectful. No one: no friend, no partner, no adult, has the right to pressure, guilt, or force you into anything you do not want.

Wondering how to support Project Garashi?
You can walk alongside us in different ways, by supporting a girl with a menstrual hygiene kit (lasting up to 3 years), a boy with a hygiene kit, or even providing three meals for a week.

Mood changes during your period are often linked to hormonal shifts, especially estrogen and progesterone, which can influence brain chemistry and emotions. This is a normal part of the menstrual cycle.
#usikueMSHY#MenstrualHealth#MentalHealth
Next week we’re rolling out a series of activities exploring the powerful link between menstrual health and mental health—and how one shapes the other.

Every big change begins with small steps. Our pre-visit to Zhongwani Primary School reminded us why Project Garashi matters.
We hope you will join us on November 1st as we fundraise towards this project.
