What We Do
The EmpowHER Project is a youth-led nonprofit on a mission to end period poverty and transform how girls experience menstruation. Through outreach, education, and sustainable solutions, we empower young girls with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to manage their periods with pride. From school workshops to policy advocacy, we're building a world where no girl is held back by her cycle. Join us in making a difference!
In Nigeria, an estimated 47% of the population lives below the international poverty line. In rural communities, that percentage is even higher. For countless girls growing up in these environments, something as simple as a sanitary pad is a luxury, unaffordable, unavailable, and ultimately, out of reach. Amid this harsh reality, 37 million girls across Nigeria lack access to safe menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities and support. This is period poverty.
