2,352 Women. 11 communities. Led locally.

This is Hamamas Meri…📊

✅ 2,352 women and girls reached with menstrual health education ✅ 54 women trained in kit sewing ✅ 179 women engaged in kit making workshops ✅ 170 women trained in sewing machine maintenance ✅ 11 communities engaged — including some of the most isolated communities in the country ✅ reusable pad kits distributed to 7 schools & discussions underway with 40+ more ✅ Rural women's groups running kit making workshops without us in the room.

That last one? That's the whole point.

When a programme works, the work continues — long after we've packed up and gone home.

This is what community-led looks like. This is what sustainable looks like.

And none of it happens without the people who believe in it. 🙏

That's the model. Skills, not charity. … See MoreSee Less
