MY PERIOD MY PRIDE PROJECT: DASS LGA

EDUCATING GIRLS OF MENSTRUAL AGE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF MENSTRUAL HYGIENE AND DISTRIBUTION OF 100 SANITARY PADS IN BUNDOT COMMUNITY, DASS LGA.

The onset of menstruation is one of the most important physiological changes occurring in girls during the adolescent years. Menstruation heralds the onset of physiological maturity in girls. It becomes the part and parcel of their lives until menopause. Apart from personal importance, this phenomenon also has social significance.

Menstrual hygiene is a hygienic practice during menstruation which can prevent women from the infection in reproductive and urinary tract. In some parts of Africa menstruation is surrounded by myths and misconceptions with a long list of “do’s” and “don’ts” for women. Menstruation and menstrual practices are still clouded by taboos and socio – cultural restrictions resulting in adolescent girls lacking knowledge and remaining ignorant of the scientific facts and hygienic health practices, which sometimes results into adverse health outcomes. The objective of this project is to educate girls of menstrual age the importance of menstrual hygiene, how they can also identify take care of themselves during their menstrual period.

An Awareness Activity On Menstrual Hygiene Matters GIDA DUBU, Bauchi LGA.

The Alwadata Lifeline Initiative, in collaboration with Kairos for the Needy Initiative, organized an awareness activity on menstrual hygiene matters at Minal Learning Foundation in Gida Dubu Community of Bauchi Local Government Area (LGA). The event aimed to inform school girls of menstrual age about menstruation (GINI ALADA), its signs, what it entails, whom to confide in when it begins, and the different kinds of menstrual products available, ranging from reusable to disposable options.

 We also emphasized on creating a menstrual hygiene-friendly environment in the school, which entails including menstrual hygiene in PTA meetings with parents and teachers, WASH facilities, and the establishment of a pad bank. In addition, one of the girls who had started menstruating was invited to demonstrate how to correctly place a pad in underwear, further enhancing the practical learning experience for her school mate.

Furthermore, the girls received education on various types of pads suitable for different flow intensities (light to heavy), including pant pads and disposable options. They learned about the importance of changing pads at recommended intervals and maintaining proper hygiene through a designated wash system. The JSS3 girls who had already started menstruating were supported with disposable pads each at the close of the event.
