In a powerful step towards menstrual equity in Ghana, the Here for Her Foundation GH has launched a groundbreaking inclusive project targeting girls living with various forms of disabilities.
Dubbed “This-abilities,” the initiative was unveiled on 18th June 2025 as the first of its kind in Ghana to focus specifically on the menstrual health needs of girls with disabilities.
For the past four years, Here for Her Foundation GH has been at the forefront of combating period poverty, reaching over 25 schools across the Volta and Eastern Regions of Ghana, including rural and under-resourced communities in the North Dayi, Akuapem North, South Dayi, Adaklu, Asene Manso Akroso Municipal and District Assemblies.
Through a combination of menstrual health and hygiene education, advocacy on reproductive rights and tax removal on sanitary products, and the distribution of sustainable items like reusable pad kits and menstrual cups, the Foundation has empowered thousands of girls and women to manage their periods with dignity.
The Foundation’s core mission is to provide young girls and women in Ghana with the knowledge and resources to confidently manage their menstrual health.
Its vision is simple but profound: a Ghana where no girl is held back from school, work, or life simply because of her period — regardless of her physical ability or socio-economic background.
The maiden inclusive project forms part of a broader campaign named EQUI FLOW, which seeks to close the menstrual health gap for all — especially those living with disabilities. The Foundation is partnering with key institutions such as the Volta School for the Deaf and Blind to ensure this landmark initiative is holistic, accessible, and sustainable.
Beyond this, the Foundation is rolling out two other impactful campaigns:
BREAKING THE TIDE: Focused on the coastal areas of the Central Region, this campaign will target communities most affected by period poverty.
SHE – Schools, Health, and Empowerment: A continuous community outreach effort in Eastern and Oti Region schools, aiming to educate and empower schoolgirls on menstrual hygiene and reproductive health.
Key project activities will include:
Stakeholder sensitization and community mobilization
Inclusive workshops and training sessions
Distribution of menstrual products
Monitoring and evaluation to track impact and ensure sustainability
As Here for Her Foundation GH expands its reach and deepens its impact, it is open to partnerships and sponsorships from individuals, organizations, and institutions that share in the vision of menstrual justice and inclusivity.
