At Santex, we are committed to creating a world where menstruation is not a barrier to education or personal growth. Our School Outreach Program plays a vital role in this mission by educating adolescent girls about menstrual health and hygiene, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to navigate their periods with confidence and dignity.
We understand that when an adolescent girl starts her period without adequate knowledge, it can significantly impact her confidence and self-esteem. In later years, this lack of preparation may contribute to gender inequality. That’s why our program emphasizes not just education but empowerment from the very beginning.
The program features interactive workshops and open discussions that encourage breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation, as well as providing high-quality, affordable sanitary products. We believe that empowering adolescent girls at a young age with accurate information can transform their experiences, boost self-esteem, and dismantle cultural taboos that often limit their potential.
In collaboration with schools, NGOs, and community leaders, the Santex School Outreach Program has already reached thousands of adolescent girls in urban and rural areas, offering not just education but also the resources needed for sustainable menstrual management. By addressing menstrual health as a fundamental right, we aim to ensure that no girl misses out on education or opportunities due to a lack of menstrual care. Our vision is to expand this program globally, helping to build a future where menstrual health is universally understood, respected, and supported.
