Our PAD Donation initiative addresses a critical but often overlooked health need for women and girls in Hawassa. We organize regular donation drives to provide sanitary products to those who cannot afford them, particularly focusing on schools and underserved communities. Our comprehensive approach includes not only distributing sanitary pads but also conducting educational sessions about menstrual hygiene and reproductive health. We partner with local women's organizations, schools, and health centers to identify those in need and ensure effective distribution. Our volunteers are trained in sensitive communication to reduce stigma around menstruation. The program has significantly improved school attendance rates among adolescent girls and enhanced dignity and confidence among women in vulnerable communities. We maintain a sustainable supply chain through partnerships with manufacturers and donors. Beyond immediate relief, we advocate for policy changes regarding menstrual health and work toward long-term solutions for period poverty in our region.
