Did you know?

If all girls completed secondary school, #ChildMarriage would fall by 66%.

Ahead of #DayoftheGirl tomorrow, let us empower girls and keep them learning in school.

@UKinSierraLeone @FCDOGEC @MHDay28May We are so proud to be supporting the EAGER our-of-school girls!

[UK in Sierra Leone 🇬🇧🇸🇱 @UKinSierraLeone]

It’s #MHDay2022. Through #UKAid @FCDOGEC EAGER programme over 27,000 out-of-school girls have now received re-useable menstrual kits by @UmanTokSL 🇸🇱. That’s over 19,000 girls more than 2021. #EndPeriodStigma @MHDay28May

[Uman Tok Sierra Leone @UmanTokSL]

On this Menstrual Hygiene Day, we want to mark our efforts at combatting period poverty through producing and providing reusable menstrual hygiene kits and giving sexual and reproductive health education to the women & girls, boys & men and communities of Sierra Leone! #MHD2022

[Schools for Salone @Schools4Salone]

Our in-country partner UMAN TOK ensures that our Days for Girls kits are created and distributed. The results: there have been ZERO pregnancies among our girl students over the past 3 years. Help us keep it going! One kit costs $11. Pls give what you can! https://t.co/33YSYThTxD

*Happy International Women’s Day*
Today, we celebrate & reflect on the theme, "gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow"
Last Fri, we visited a SfS school at Mile 38 & gave these community women reusable menstrual hygiene kits & educated them on SRHE.

Low literacy rates remain a challenge to female leadership, enterprise and gender equality. In observation of the #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild our EAGER project staff together with adolescent girls across 4 rural districts developed advocacy messages against SGBV.

Happy #DayOfTheGirl what a pleasure to accompany high commissioner @LisaJChesney to @UmanTokSL and to meet the passionate team behind reusable menstrual hygiene pads in Sierra Leone, see how they are made and hear the difference they are making to lives of girls.

[UK in Sierra Leone 🇬🇧🇸🇱 @UKinSierraLeone]

Great visit to @UmanTokSL on #IDG2021 by British High Commissioner @LisaJChesney talking about menstrual hygiene, role of women and girls in climate action and innovation, and women’s economic empowerment and dignified livelihoods.@NinaGLarsen

[Lisa Chesney @LisaJChesney]

An inspiring afternoon @UmanTokSL on #IDG2021! Girls can miss up to 20% of school due to a lack of sanitary protection. Great to hear how the team’s menstruation kits help keep girls in school, as well as provide local employment. Plenti Tenki @UmanTokSL for having me over!

[Uman Tok Sierra Leone @UmanTokSL]

Today we celebrate the importance of empowering & supporting the girl child for her success in reaching her goals. Our audience with the Director General of Parliament Finda Fraser empowered us to continue on our path of putting the girl child first.
