Securing Health Empowerment (S.H.E.) is an international organization, paving the way to an extensive and more sustainable solution to Menstrual Health Management (MHM) and other women-related health conditions. Our mission is to alleviate period poverty through increased access to affordable and reusable sanitary wear, educational workshops, improved Water and Sanitation (WASH) infrastructure in schools, and to advocate a widespread political and social dialogue.
S.H.E. is on a mission to ‘keep girls in school’ and works closely with schools in rural communities of Sub-Saharan Africa. Our objective is to help girls stay in school by creating a more conducive and gender-sensitive environment that enables them to participate more—inside and outside the classroom—with added confidence and dignity. We want to go beyond physical health and prioritize the general well-being of women and girls in policymaking.
