Breaking the menstrual barriers that keep Nigeria’s brightest girls from reaching their full potential through comprehensive hygiene education, product access, and empowerment programs that transform monthly challenges into monthly confidence.
Across Nigeria’s classrooms, a devastating pattern repeats monthly: brilliant girls disappear from lessons, not due to lack of intelligence or ambition, but because their natural biological processes have become insurmountable barriers to education. 23% of Nigerian girls abandon school permanently due to menstrual hygiene challenges, creating a generation of lost potential where academic excellence surrenders to biological reality.
Behind these statistics lie girls like Kemi, a brilliant mathematics student from Osun State, who consistently scored the highest in her class until puberty arrived. Without access to proper sanitary products or private facilities, she began missing school during her monthly cycles. Embarrassment, leaked stains, and teasing from classmates gradually eroded her confidence until she stopped attending altogether, abandoning her dreams of becoming an engineer.
Rise Beyond Silence addresses menstrual hygiene holistically—providing product access, education, infrastructure improvement, and cultural transformation that ensures every girl experiences her monthly cycle with dignity, confidence, and continued access to education and opportunities.
Featured Triumph: “Aisha’s Academic Comeback Journey”
Aisha Muhammed was a 14-year-old top student in Kaduna State when menstruation began disrupting her education. Lacking sanitary products and facing shame from family and peers, she stopped attending school for weeks each month, watching her grades plummet from first to near-failure. Our program provided monthly sanitary supplies, menstrual health education, and confidence-building sessions. We also improved her school’s toilet facilities and trained teachers on menstrual support. Today, Aisha has reclaimed her position as class valedictorian and dreams of studying medicine at university. “This program didn’t just give me pads,” she testifies, “it gave me back my future and taught me that my body is nothing to be ashamed of.”
Companies partner with us to distribute products, gain market insights, and demonstrate social responsibility while girls receive quality sanitary supplies and health education.
Schools and universities collaborate on research, curriculum development, and student engagement while contributing to evidence-based approaches that benefit entire educational systems.
