But in Ghana, girls stay home from school, and even endanger their health, because of the roadblocks of menstruation.
Come on board to help Ghanaian girls afford and use sustainable products so they can stay at school, stay safe, and change their world. One girl at a time.
Educating girls changes everything. Everything.
A short story from Mama Adzorhlor III
My Path to HERGhana
In 2013 I was appointed by the elders of Dagbamete, Ghana as Queen Mother. I recognized that young women and young mothers in Ghana are deeply disadvantaged in the dimension of menstrual health leading to poor outcomes in health, safety, education, and economic participation. Having experienced these conditions myself as a girl and young woman, I began running programs in 2016 to distribute menstrual products and raising awareness for menstrual health in Dagbamete. This journey led me to officially incorporate HERGhana as a Ghanaian NPO in December 2023. Our main goal is to make menstrual products available for young girls and young mothers starting with Volta Region and expanding across Ghana.
