Men Hawks to support "My Period, My Pride" Project by Life Again

Life Again, a dedicated teenage mother empowerment group, has embarked on an innovative initiative titled "My Period, My Pride."

The project aims not only to combat period stigma and shaming but also to provide sustainable and healthy menstruation management solutions for girls in marginalized communities.

Male staff members of Life Again took to the streets of Wa and ventured into the bustling Wa Central Market on Sunday, June 9th. Their mission: to hawk sachets of water and raise funds to support the "My Period, My Pride" project.

The Founder and Executive Director of Life Again, Madam Saudatu Mohammed said the efforts of the men bore fruit as they managed to surpass their initial goal, amassing over GH₵1000 in funds.

These funds will be channeled towards providing reusable sanitary pads to at least 500 girls in deprived communities within the Upper West Region. She visibly lauded the men staff for displaying a great sense of commitment to the project and the overall mission.

Madam Saudatu said, The "My Period, My Pride" project represents a significant step forward in the fight against period poverty and stigma.

By offering sustainable menstruation management solutions, Life Again is not only addressing a critical need but also empowering young girls to embrace their periods with pride and dignity.

She added that the initiative highlights the power of community-driven efforts in effecting positive change and underscores the importance of collective action in tackling social challenges.

She added that Life Again will continue to set an inspiring example in its commitment to uplifting teenage mothers and promoting menstrual health and hygiene across communities.

The men also called on the general public to help the girls during and after their menstrual cycle.
