Adolescent girls in Ghana face setbacks during menstruation if they cannot afford sanitary products or practice proper hygiene. Sanitary pads are taxed like luxury items.
This year’s theme, “Making Menstruation a Normal Fact of Life by 2030,” resonates deeply with our organisation as we strive to create a more inclusive and equitable world while promoting the SDGs with a focus on Quality Education, Gender Equality and Climate Action.

Anijie Global Foundation, an NGO in Ghana and the ladies’ wing of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT-LAS) in the Bono East Region of Ghana have partnered to combat this issue and eradicate period poverty.
