Easily Accessible Information
Alongside fun and educational workshops, S.H.E., in partnership with AfriPads, provides learning materials including culturally sensitive, age-appropriate comic booklets to enhance understanding and relatability.
Improving Gender Sensitivity in Schools
In many rural schools, open latrines with little privacy compromise the dignity of girls. The lack of clean water and proper period disposal worsens sanitation challenges. We strive to improve gender-friendly WASH facilities, making schools safer and more comfortable for girls.
Greater Economic Participation
We aim to reduce school dropouts caused by period poverty. When girls stay in school, they have better chances to enter the job market, pursue economic opportunities, and build brighter futures. Education also delays early childbearing, opening doors to greater possibilities.
About us
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.
