Lilian: "I don't miss school because of my period"
Before joining the Pad a Girl Program, Lilian often missed classes during her period, worried about her uniform and her classmates.
After menstrual health education and reusable pads, her attendance — and her confidence — never looked back.
“Today I don't miss school because of my period. I understand my body better, and I feel confident every day.”
“Today I don't miss school because of my period. Being a girl is my strength, not my weakness.”
