Empower a Girl with $5: Support Menstrual Health and School Attendance

Transforming Lives Across Ethiopia

Thanks to our generous donors and partners, Kindova Humanitarian Organization, in collaboration with Noble Humanitarian Mission, has empowered girls across Ethiopia through the Empower a Girl with $5 project. Girls now have access to reusable menstrual hygiene kits and menstrual health education, allowing them to manage their periods safely and with dignity, remain in school, and pursue their dreams confidently. By providing these essential resources, raising awareness, and reducing stigma, the project has created healthier, more supportive school environments and strengthened communities.
