#MHDay2026 is coming. Break the stigma. Demand access to menstrual products, education, and sanitation for all. Together, we create a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.

Through the 100% WASH Project, funded by the well:fair Foundation, #Amref is creating safe, dignified spaces for school-going girls by investing in reliable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities. With access to clean water and proper sanitation, girls can confidently manage their menstruation at school, receive training on safe use and disposal of pads, and no longer lose valuable learning time. The result is simple but powerful: improved hygiene, restored dignity, and better academic performance because no girl should have to choose between her education and her period.
