Our School Health Program!

 Our School Health Program is transforming the lives of girls—and boys—in rural Cotes-de-Fer, Haiti. Through this initiative, we provide reusable menstrual hygiene kits and essential health education, ensuring no girl misses school because of her period.

In many villages, 90% of girls report being unable to afford or access disposable pads, leading to frequent school absences and disrupted learning. Our program addresses this by:

• Providing reusable, sustainable hygiene kits
   
• Delivering menstrual and puberty education for girls aged 8–14
   
• Empowering girls with dignity, knowledge, and confidence
   

In 2024, we expanded to four new schools—two in the fall and two in the spring. For the 2025–2026 school year, we've already received eight new applications from rural schools eager to join the program.

Your support can change a girl’s future. Join us by:

• Donating to fund kits and health education
   
• Volunteering your time or sewing skills
   
• Spreading awareness about menstrual equity
   

Together, we’re making sure periods don’t pause potential.
Welcome to Grandma Martha’s Hygiene Kits for Girls—where every kit is a step toward a brighter future.

At Hope for a Village, we believe periods should never hold a girl back. Our school health sessions go beyond hygiene—we foster dignity, body confidence, and equality.

• Educate with Purpose:
  We host interactive health classes covering puberty, menstrual hygiene, abstinence, reproduction, and self-respect—empowering over 50 girls recently with knowledge they can trust.
   
• Equip with Care:
  After each session, girls receive a reusable hygiene kit and training on how to use and care for it, helping them manage their cycles with dignity.
   
• Engage Boys as Allies:
  Boys also participate in puberty and menstrual education to reduce stigma and promote empathy, building a culture of mutual respect.
   
• Support Schools:
  School staff, including secretaries, are trained to maintain kits and offer discreet support. Each school is equipped with repair supplies and extra pads to ensure continuity and care.
   

This project honors the compassion of Grandma Martha and her granddaughter Stephanie Alicia. Every kit we distribute carries their legacy forward—one girl, one story, one future at a time.

Help us continue this work. Your support breaks taboos, builds confidence, and opens doors for a brighter tomorrow.
