About us
Our Core Mission The onset of puberty and menstruation can pose profound challenges for adolescent girls, particularly in refugee settings. Social stigma, discriminatory norms, and limited access to MHM resources create complex barriers to their well-being. Our mission is rooted in the firm conviction that knowledge is power, and education can transform lives. Innovation in Education: The MHM Game Toolkit At the heart of our approach lies innovation. We've developed an engaging board game that simplifies MHM education, breaking down complex topics and dispelling myths. This interactive tool fosters understanding among girls and boys, promoting empathy and support during menstruation. Versatile and adaptable, our game can be versatile and adaptable by students and teache. We believe that informed choices stem from knowledge, and we aim to provide that knowledge in an enjoyable, accessible manner. The Organic Cream Relief: Promoting Health and Well-Being In addition to education, we recognize the importance of addressing the physical aspects of menstruation. That's why we manufacture an organic cream that alleviates common menstrual discomforts. Formulated with natural ingredients like cinnamon and eucalyptus oil, this cream offers antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving properties. Importantly, we ensure affordability, making it accessible to all, regardless of their circumstances. Our Impact and Your Participation Our project strives to empower adolescent refugee girls and women to confidently manage their menstruation with safety, dignity, and privacy. By equipping them with knowledge and tangible solutions, we aim to break down barriers and foster an environment of support, safety, and empowerment. We invite you to join us in this transformative journey. Whether you're a partner, stakeholder, or advocate for gender equality and human rights, your involvement can make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve. Let's work together!

I still love this video of Sephora Ngoy. Even my wonky filming couldn't stop her passion coming across. Since this video, Her Pride has gone on to start making reusable sanitary pads to support girls and women, and it's wonderful to see how this business is growing.
