Adopt a Girl

Help us to keep girls focused on learning and engaging in the activities that help them build their confidence.

Period poverty is a systemic challenge in our communities, over 70% of girls from low income households cannot afford sanitary towels and which often interrupts their schooling during their periods. Many use home remedies which are not healthy and predispose them to infections, while others engage in sex to obtain money for sanitary products.

My Flow Foundation (“the Foundation”) is seeking to address this social ill through its program “Adopt-A-Girl” through which partners, friends and sponsors commit to support one or more girls through sanitary care packages over a period of 12 months.

We have identified over 1,000 girls in different communities in both Nairobi city and rural areas that we want to support, with your help, to help keep in school through provision of sanitary care packages.

Your support will help the Foundation stand in this gap, restore girls’ dignity and allow girls all across the country to confidently grow and develop into what they aspire to be. You can support one girl for 12 months for KES 6,000 or for 1 month for KES 500 or you can contribute what you can through Mpesa Till No. 5286853.

Let’s Talk Periods

Periods are surrounded by shame and stigma and not talking about periods is having a huge impact on girls, making them feel ashamed of their bodies, affecting their sense of self-worth and leaving them without the knowledge they need when they get their first period.
