Flourishing girls. Stronger communities.
No girl should miss school, or lose her life, because of her period.
Nawiri keeps adolescent girls in class: sanitary towels every month, honest answers about their bodies, and a skill that earns. We bring it to the schools and churches they already attend.

How Nawiri works
Pads and the conversation, in the same room
Pads without the conversation last a month. The conversation without pads keeps a girl at home. Since 2019 we have done both, and added a skill that pays.
- She learns what a period is, and that it is nothing to hide
- She leaves with sanitary towels, so no week of school is lost
- She learns to make soap she can sell
Why we exist
It started with a girl who should still be here.
In 2019 a 14-year-old girl in Bomet County took her own life after a teacher shamed her for soiling her skirt on her first period. Many girls begin their periods without knowing what to expect. The silence, the shame and the missing pads are all fixable. That is the work.
Read our storyWhat we do
Three things every girl leaves with
She is at the apex of the Dignity Triangle. Everything reaches her through the schools, churches and communities she is already part of.
What a period is and what to expect, then the life skills: speaking up, relationships, working together.
How a session runs
Sanitary towels at every session, so a period never costs her a week of school. 80,000+ handed out since 2019.
What we give and why
Soap making and other income skills, so she leaves with something she can make and sell.
The skills line
One public day that breaks the silence, and raises the money for the rest of the year.
