Can you imagine being a young woman who is just getting her first period -- and there is no running water in your home or anywhere nearby? Far too many rural Nicaraguans live like that. El Porvenir helps such communities to help themselves -- digging wells, building water systems, improving watersheds.
On May 28th, we celebrate Menstrual Hygiene Day, a day dedicated to dispelling myths and misconceptions that affect the lives of many girls in Nicaraguan communities. Our menstrual hygiene program includes conducting workshops, giving talks in schools, and setting up school hygiene corners (areas in the classroom with hygiene products like soap, toilet paper, and pads.) Our program aims to dismantle these barriers so girls can learn about menstrual hygiene and lead healthier lives.You can help. Please contribute today.
