When a choice is made between buying food and buying sanitary pads, dignity should never be the price.

Disposable sanitary pads can be expensive for many low-income families who are already struggling to put food on the table.

That is why our Period Kits are changing the story, offering reusable protection for up to 3 years and easing the financial burden on low-income families.

Dignity should never be disposable!

Our Period Kits contain essential sanitary products that girls need to manage their periods safely and with dignity.

We are committed to protecting their reproductive health and the environment by eliminating exposure to plastics and harmful chemical cocktails commonly found in disposable sanitary products.

Different regions, one powerful purpose.

Today we launch project in North Bank Region of The Gambia, funded by the Girls Opportunity Alliance, empowering 2,000 schoolgirls with menstrual health and hygiene education.

We are helping girls stay in school during their periods, building their knowledge to prevent urogenital infections, and creating safe school environments free from period shaming and bullying.

Today, the Creo Corner Association generously donated D30,000 to Girls’ Pride Gambia to support young women at Gambia College Basse Campus with reusable sanitary pads.

Many women and girls continue to struggle to access safe and affordable sanitary products. This is often due to financial hardship or because they live in remote areas where shops are not easily accessible. These challenges can affect their health, dignity, and ability to attend lectures regularly.

However, you can make a difference!

By supporting this initiative, you are helping young women manage their periods with dignity, stay in school, and build a better future.

If you would like to contribute or support, please contact Nyima, the Gender Minister for Gambia College Basse Campus, on +220 6450055.

Periods should never be a barrier to a girl’s education.

Last week, we conducted a Refresher Training on Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management (MHHM) for teachers previously trained as Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Trainers in the North Bank Region.

Through this Training-of-Trainers approach, teachers are now empowered to join our team to deliver menstrual health education to 2,000 schoolgirls, helping to reduce period poverty, stigma, and school absenteeism.

By strengthening the capacity of teachers, we are shifting power to those closest to the problem, addressing inequalities, and helping girls stay in school and thrive with dignity.

Together, we can create a future where no girl’s education is disrupted by her period.

This International Women’s Day, we join the global call for “Give To Gain” and the theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.”

At Girls’ Pride Gambia, we believe that when we support girls and women with knowledge, resources, and opportunities, we help them stay in school, protect their health, and build brighter futures.

Together, let’s take action to ensure every girl and woman have the opportunity to thrive.

HOW TO TRACK YOUR PERIOD

PART 1: Tracking your period using a calendar 📅 is a simple and effective way to understand your menstrual cycle, predict your next period, and identify patterns related to your health and fertility.

Here is how to do it step-by-step:

1. Mark the First Day of Your Period 🩸
I. The first day of bleeding (not spotting) is Day 1 of your cycle.
II. On your calendar (paper 📅 or digital), circle or highlight that date.

2. Track the Length of Your Period
I. Each day you have bleeding, mark it on the calendar (e.g., use a red dot or shading). II. Count how many days your period lasts. This is your period length (usually 3 to 7 days).

3. Track the Full Cycle Length
I. Your menstrual cycle starts on the first day of your period and ends the day before your next period begins.
II. Count the total number of days between the first days of two periods. This gives you your menstrual cycle length (usually 21 to 35 days).

Example:
I. Your first period starts on October 5, 2025, mark it as Day 1.
II. Your next period starts on November 2, 2025, mark it as Day 1. Your menstrual cycle length is 28 days (from Oct 5 to Nov 1).

In CRR–South, men are choosing to lead differently.

Through the Funneh Board Game, they are gaining the knowledge and confidence to talk about menstrual health and hygiene management, support their daughters, and educate other men.

Ending period stigma is not just a women’s issue. It’s a community responsibility.

This is how we build equity from the ground up.

Healthy Eating During Your Period 🩸

During menstruation, your body loses blood and energy. Eating local, nutritious foods can help you feel stronger and reduce tiredness.

In The Gambia, we are lucky to have healthy foods like:

🌿 Moringa or cassava leaves (rich in iron)
🥜 Beans and groundnuts (good for strength)
🌾 Millet
🐟 Fresh fish
🍹 Baobab juice
🥭 Mangoes and bananas

These foods help replace lost nutrients and boost energy.

💧 Drink plenty of clean water.
🚫 Reduce too much salt, sugary drinks, and processed foods to avoid bloating and cramps.

Eat local. Stay strong. Take care of your body.
